💛💛💛

Forgot to post this on the 1st… our girl is 3 months old!

Ellie’s first Halloween!! 🎃🍍

Hard to tell from this photo, but this little one has her first cold and some crazy lady keeps trying to suck the snot out with this weird straw and tube thing. It’s been a rough couple of nights.

Our little sweetie is 12 weeks old today!! Lots of spitting up, but we took a nap together, read some books, and plenty of smiles off camera. 💗

Bittersweet night, the night before I bring Ellie to her first day of daycare, signaling the end of my maternity leave. These 12 weeks went by in the blink of an eye. It was a rough start, and I’m a little sad that just when I’m finally getting the hang of it, I’ll have to entrust her in the hands of others 4 days a week and have to find my new norm as a working momma.

I hope the weekly variety will help her make new friends and enjoy time with her grandparents. With my work-from-home Wednesdays giving a nice break to the commuting, I still anticipate the weeks to fly by faster than ever, even with those long nights when she still wakes me up at 4am for a bottle and some cuddles.
