The Million Dollar Question

One of the most common questions people ask me now a days is:

"Are you going back to work or are you staying home with Grant??"

I couldn't honestly answer that question.

Until today.

I met with my team lead today and told her that I had decided to take a better job (and I had an awesome job to start with!!).

The pay is a WHOLE, WHOLE lot less.

There will be no bonuses or raises.

No annual reviews.

No paid professional licensure dues.

The hours are a lot longer.

I can't leave work early on certain days.

I have to work days, nights and weekends.

I don't get vacation or sick time.

I have to work all holidays.

I can't call in for "mental health" days.

But meet my new co-worker...

Isn't he super cute???!!!!

We plan to have lots of "working lunches," "team building exercises," "performance reviews," and "coachings."

I can't fire him....I am in it for the long haul.

In two weeks I will turn in my key and clean out my desk. I will be starting the job that I have always wanted to do.

I am going to be a Stay At Home Mom!!

3 months!!!

One month

Two months

Three months

Three monthsOur baby came into this world 3 months ago this past Saturday. He is growing so fast and Mommy & Daddy love him more & more each day!

Grant at 3 months:

• Weight=about 14 lbs

• Height=about 24 inches
• Smiling and cooing. Especially at his crib toys and his play mat. He even yells out a squeal every once in a while.
• Grant does his best talking to Mommy when she comes and gets him out of his crib in the morning and is changing his diaper on the changing table. He is always so excited to see her!
• Sleep an average of 7-8 hours a night...
• But is still a night owl....at least by mommy and daddy's standards!! Usually takes his last feeding around 11pm and then sleeps until around 6:30am.
• Still breastfeeding well. Has gotten "better" at it and faster. However, easily falls asleep during feedings. Stinker!!
• Can hold his head up 90 degrees while on his tummy.
• Can hold his head up while we carry him around.
• Is really trying to roll over from his tummy to his back. Does it best when he gets mad and is tired of being on his tummy!
• Can pick mommy's face out of a crowd of people looking at him.
• Can usually find mommy by listening to her voice.

Watch tonight!!

There is a new show coming on TLC tonight called "Blooming Business." It comes on at 9:30 Dallas time. It follows a famous Dallas floral designer as they decorate for a wedding. This week they will be decorating Prestonwood Baptist where Collin and I were married!! So excited to see what they do!! Here's what we did....
Oh memories!! What a wonderful day!!

Random Thoughts....

• It is raining here today. I don't think I have heard thunder in forever!! Darn you, North Texas drought!
• On the way to get the mail today, I noticed that my tulips are on the verge of blooming!! Yay for Spring!
• I should really organize my closet. Not sure why since this post-preggo body is still on strike!
• My baby pooped what looked like an English pea today. Collin loves peas so I was sure to text him a pic of it! Ha!
• Being a new mom is scary and exciting!
• I really don't want to work out today but I will try to make the 5:30 class. Darn you, post-preggo body!!
• A good excuse not to go is that I would hate to get my newly washed car wet and dirty. Darn you, rain!
• Isn't it depressing when nothing "good" comes in the mail? A Sports Illustrated for C, a boring insurance statement, and a Kroger ad. Boring!! Come on May issue of Martha Stewart Living!!
• I started a new book yesterday call "The Shack." I think my brother-n-law left it over Christmas to read, but I am just now getting to it. Pretty good so far. God as a large black women?? Holy cow!!
• We are having left over BBQ sandwiches tonight. I have a recipe where you make them in the crock pot. They are super good! They are beef BBQ....C and I fight over what meat really constitutes BBQ. I say beef, he says pork. Just one of the many fun discussions we like to have!
• I should probably go wake Granters up. He sleep all morning and is now sleeping all afternoon. Could be an all nighter!! yikes!!

We have found our thumb!!!

I have been catching him sucking his thumb more and more lately. Now all he needs is a blue "Linus" blanket to drag around!!
