I love babies!

Beau teaching Al the beauty of relaxation... they are starting to look alike.

It is so great that all of my friends seem to be having babies at the same time! Not sure if i mentioned it or not, but Becca (my friend and roomate from college) is pregnant also! And, Abby found out last week that Al and Jackson will be getting a little girlfriend to play with! yeay.

Last night Abby, Cuevas, and I got together with our awesome old friend Abbey Marsh(now Matz). She brought her little boy Harrison over for our reunion and we has such a good time. We probably havent seen Abbey since we left college 4 years ago, so we had a lot of catching up to do and I hope we continue to get together more often from no on.

I also love babies when they sleep through the night... Al slept for 8 & 9 hours two nights in a row this weekend! But now he is back to waking up every 3 hours bc he has a cold and his nose is so stuffy, poor guy. The woes of daycare I guess. Life goes on!

Work is crazy busy this week, but I love it. I sometimes cant believe I am actually getting paid to do what I do... really.

Have a great week everyone!

Responsibility

There is a huge sense of responsibility that comes with being the mother of a child. It is crazy sometimes how different fathers opperate. Beau and I went to an auction (which was really super fun) on Saturday with a couple friend of ours. We were drinking and having a great time and around 10, mind you we started at 5, I needed to pump and I kept thinking... "When I get home at midnight Al will be up two hours later to eat... I should probably stop drinking". Beau, on the other hand, had no such thoughts. Not that he doesnt love Al, but I just dont think men think about children in the same way. He could have stayed out all night.
Oh well, I accept. I do think to myself though, am I ever going to be able to relax enough to drink and have a good time when I go out, or am I always going to feel like this. I think he will have to be staying at Grandma's house before I could feel that way. I know as he gets older it will get better, but man this weekend it just hit me like a rock really.
I have been so bad about taking pictures lately... I will post some soon!

Back to Work

SO I left this morning and I didnt cry. I used up all my cry tickets last night. I am just glad it is such a nice day outside... that always makes life more happy. I did call grandma around 12 for an update and I could hear Al in the background; that was a little sad, but no tears. I think I just have the mind set that this is the way it is going to be so I need to see the positive side of things. He will be able to have early social interaction at day care and he gets to bond with grandma on Mondays. I still am able to feed him before I leave for work so that works out great and I got a whole hour with his cute smiling face this morning. My only fear right now is that he wont prefer me or know that I am his mom... I know this wont happen, but you can never be sure. I just tell myself that my mom always worked and I was attached to her hip inspite of it. So, life is good...rolling with the punches.
