i did it

going back... Part 2

I cried she started crying when I left and I had to leave her while she was crying but at least her daddy was the one taking care of her.  I got into the SUV and I cried as I left the house.  It was so hard to leave little miss Z.  Little miss Z has been everywhere with me since last June and on Saturday it was the first time I left her for more than 8 hours and it was hard.  I called hubby a lot and asked how she was doing and if he was doing okay with taking care of her.  It was nice to get away for a little while.  But I sure did miss her.  On Sunday going back to work was a little bit easier.  But on Monday when I went to work she was wide awake and smiling hubby told me its like a band aid you just have to peel it off fast and go.  I cried when I left again because she was awake and happy.  It makes going to work so much easier knowing that little miss Z is with her dad and I'm not taking her to a daycare.  I did set up going back to work a little easier I only worked for 3 days and than my weekend and than once I go back I will have to be going for 5 days in a row.  So I could ease my way back into a normal work week.  I love being able to spend time with her right now and cuddle her and not have to worry about getting ready to leave the house to go to work.  Instead today when daddy gets out of school for the day we will get to do somethings as a family and it makes me happy.

hopefully by next year I will be able to stay home and be with my little girl.  but who knows what the future has ahead for us.

going back...

I have had 11 weeks off of work and 10 of them have been spent spending time with my hubby, with little miss Zoey, family and friends.  We have had an adventure I have been learning how to the best mommy to this little girl everyday I learn something new.  I'm nervous about going back to work I have been on the midnight shift (9;45pm-6:15am) for two plus years.  I'm now going back and working from 1:30pm-10:00pm Thursday-Monday I have at least kept my same days off so that we can do family things on the weekend.  I have done this shift before I'm not nervous about that I'm nervous about meeting my new co-workers, meeting the individuals they are new to me.  I also am going to miss my midnight co-workers from Quail Run.  I also don't know how I'm going to do for 8+ hours without my little girl.  I have only stayed a couple of hours away from her.  I'm so happy that we don't have to pay anyone to take care of her and she will be with her daddy.  But I'm going to miss seeing her talk in the afternoons and the smiles she gives.

wish me luck!

Zoey {1st Month}

Zoey,
    Daddy and I love you very much and so happy that you have joined our family.  It is crazy to think that we were in the hospital with you a month ago just holding our little 5 pound 4 ounce baby and now today we are holding a 6 pound 8 ounce baby.  You are growing so much!  You have brought a lot of joy to our lives.  We love to watch you smile in your sleep and start seeing little smiles on your face while you are awake.  We have gone on walks, we have gone shopping, and we have been visiting family.  The kitty cats have decided that you are here to stay and starting to warm up to you.  Baylee has kissed the top of your head and KeKe loves to come up to you and rubs up against you.

 WE LOVE YOU VERY MUCH AND HAVE ENJOYED THIS LAST MONTH BEING NEW PARENTS TO YOU ZOEY!

Zoey's 2 week check up!

Zoey and I set off on an adventure today.  We had to go to Pleasant Grove for her two week check up.  We got to the doctors office early so that we could be ready for our actual appointment time.  The nurse had me undress little Zoey.  I have learned something this last week you don't let this girl go a minute after cleaning her bum without another diaper in the reach of you.  So I put on another clean diaper before the nurse goes to weigh her.  I follow and as soon as we get there she fills the pants.  Yes, I know what my daughters routine is.  The nurse weighs her and she is 5 pounds 8 ounces.  We head back into the little doctors office room.  I go to start cleaning her bum and I didn't have a clean diaper near me and guess what my little girl does?  Zoey peed all over the doctors office on the floor, on the patient bed/chair.  All after the final measure of her.  Last week she was 19 and a 1/2 now she is 19 so I'm going to stick with around 19 inches long.

Other fun facts about our little miss Zoey:
she lost her umbilical cord on Friday 3/2/2012
she gets up 3 to 4 times a night
she is a little piglet she loves to eat and you have to watch her closely to how much she over eats
she is very content when she is awake she just sits and watches you.
she looked at the pictures of LOVE YOU FOREVER while mommy cried reading it to her
she weighs 5 pounds 8 ounces and at birth she weighed 5 pounds 3 ounces
she makes noises while she sleeps like humming

and I thought I would share some photos of little miss Zoey's Birth.  Thank you to my best friend Janine for taking them they are truly amazing!

Couldn't Resist

Isn't she just a doll? We just love her so much.  Zoey is an absolute joy and we just love having her in our family. What she loves doing daily right now is: Eating, Sleeping, Diaper Changes, and Loves bath time.   What do the cats think of her oh she is just another tiny human being they are curious but not that curious they will be in a couple of months when she is crawling and chasing them.  For right now Baylee is your typical male she starts crying he gets up and leaves the room.  Keke however just watches her cry.

Well I'm off to cuddle our little sweetie pie!
