Time Flies...

Two months old already!! I've been meaning to write this post since Emmi turned 2 months old, 8 days ago!! I'm starting to realize what a "busy mom" means...and I haven't even started back to work yet! Emilie had her 2 month pediatrician appointment last Tuesday. She weighed in at a whopping 8 pounds, 6 ounces and was 22" long! Dr. Martin informed us that she is finally "on the curve" at the 3rd percentile in weight and the 25th percentile in height. This took many hours of nursing and pumping from mommy to get her there, but we did it!

At 2 months old, Emilie is becoming so much more aware, alert, and interactive. It's amazing how much she changes everyday. She loves to "talk" to us with her cute little "cooing" noises. And when she looks up at us with those loving eyes and gets a big 'ol smile on that tiny little pixie face, it just melts my heart. You should see the smile she gets on her face and the way her eyes light up when she hears her daddy's voice and looks at him after he gets home from a long day at work. And you should see his eyes light up too!

Unfortunately, with this 2 months marker also comes the dreaded return to work for me. I hate to think about being away from her all day. It's ridiculous how much I miss her just when she's taking a nap and I'm in the same room!! But on the other hand, there was a point in time when I didn't know if I would ever have a child, so I look at it this way...at least I have a baby to take to daycare. I guess it's all about perspective, right?

Yes, time does fly. But it's the best time of my life...
