Back to work :(

So today is the last day of my maternity leave and it makes me so very very sad. A) it means that i won't be seeing Kenzie near as much every day, and B) it means that she is 6 weeks old!! madnesses. She has already started to grow out of her 'newborn' clothes and get into her 0-3 mos and some small 3-6 month stuff. She is cooing more and more every day and has started to smile sometimes which is just adorable. She is a much happier baby in general as of this weekend because we ended up switching her to a soy based formula. Apparently her little tummy can't handle lactose yet so we've given up on it for a little while. Her gas was HORRIBLE and every time she ate she screamed in pain afterward and made the whole house miserable and crazy for hours at a time. So we called the pediatrician and now she is on soy and it is sooooo much better. This morning she was awake for a good 2 hours and just as happy and content as could be...it was great. She LOVES bath time and we have a blast with that. Her hair is lightening up and has more and more red in it all the time. She is just getting so big!! Her check up is on Weds. to see how she is doing and get some shots so we'll see how big she truly is.

As for Joel and I...our sanity is slowly returning. The less she screams the happier we are and more sane. We spent yesterday at home cooking from our Martha Stewart magazine, LOL. Joel's mom came over so we took the time to try 2 new recipes....a chicken and alfredo pasta dish...awesome BTW, and a berry and dumplings dessert...also AWESOME.

SO i go back to work tomorrow anyways...and i'm sad about it but i am still applying and keeping my eye out for a part-time, or closer to home job. I have a few good resumes in right now and i'm really hoping for a call back soon...pray i get something!

Well today i hope to spend cuddling and snuggling with the baby girl to get in all the time i can before going back to work. Hopefully today continues to be a great day!



This is me about to fuss because i want to be held!!!!
