23 Weeks

Hi my heart,

I have the privilege to have a position at my company to work from home.  Thus far since my return from maternity leave I have balanced work with the help of your Dad, Grand, and others.  Now that the holidays are over and school is back in session we knew we needed to make a decision on your daily needs and care.  You were already enrolled in a daycare but we were not ready for that.  So your Dad and I decided to look for a nanny instead.  Well this week your nanny started and we are so excited!!  Her name is Hannah. She is so sweet and I think she is already smitten with you.  I know that  she has been such a blessing to us in just a short amount of time.

She plays with you so well and has been working on sitting up by yourself.  Oh and you are mastering it.  My "goal" was for you to be sitting up by your 6 month photos with Aunt BK and now you have a few weeks to perfect it ;)

Also this week your Dad and I celebrated 4 years of marriage.  We have had an amazing start to our years together - travelled to Ireland for my 30th, added our bonus room and half bath upstairs, lived in the UK for a year, travelled all around Europe...and now we have you.  You are the best thing we have done thus far.  You have shown us what true love is and how well we work as our little family of three.  We have big hopes and dreams for us...and we will work hard to make them come true.  As your Dad says...this is not a dress rehearsal.  We only live once.  Thank you for making one big dream come true.

You are like Linus...you must sleep with your "blanket"

You make the world a better place.

I love you,
Momma
