Little man

This video doesn't do much justice. It's crazy how much he is starting to smile and make cute little noises. Of course when I get the camera on, he starts to be a little fuss butt. I'll get some better footage and get it on here. This will do for now. He is doing great. I am loving every day.

Back to my old job I go.

Well, I have decided to go back to my old job at the hotel. I will be the assistant in the sales office. I'm so super excited. I will get to be home with Jaxson in the morning and I'll be home with him in the evenings as well. I'm so happy and I can't wait. I go back on Monday so I've been enjoying these fews days at home with my little man. I did some visiting with family on Wednesday and we were worn out! It was a long day. Jaxson is really starting to smile. I can't wait to hear a little giggle come out of the little guy. Well, he is napping right now so I have some stuff to get done. You know how that goes.

Boo for work!

Well, I survived the first week back to work. It sucked really bad!! I hated every minute of it. Not only because I wanted to be at home with Jaxson but the store is an absolute disaster. We get a ton of shipment and the store is so small we can't get it all out and it just piles up in the back room. For just coming back to work, it was a bit overwhelming. Not to mention, my manager was on vacation as well. I just wanted to scream really. I'm definitely enjoying today and tomorrow because I don't work. Good news though, the Hilton Garden Inn has offered me my old job back!! It wouldn't be full time so I'm thinking about staying at Claire's only part time. The hotel it will be perfect though. 12-5 Monday through Friday. It's absolutely perfect. I definitely miss the office job. I can't wait to sit at my old desk again! Jaxson has been doing great. He has been sleeping nine hours at night!! He's getting the hang of it for sure. During the day he is up a lot. He has fussy stages at times but it's not bad. He is such a good baby. We won't need a sitter at all if I take the hotel job because I will be able to stay home with him in the morning and Joe is off work before I would have to go in. It would be amazing. So, I survived work but it was awful. I'm hoping to figure things out so it works best for the family and I can be happy. Joe and I don't ever see each other now because as soon as he gets home, I go to work. It's nuts. It's been a crazy week. I'm looking forward to making some changes.

Last few days of visiting

One week from today I will be starting work. :( I cannot believe that Jaxson is a month old already!! He's trying to hold up his head a lot and he's starting to make more noises. He's actually smiling with his eyes open now instead of only when he is sleeping. We had a long day yesterday. My aunt and uncle from Florida are visiting to we took a trip to Champaign. It was a late night but he still slept great. He does quite well in the car thank goodness. Tomorrow is his one month appointment. I'm so excited to see how much he weighs and to make sure that he is healthy and doing good. Friday we are going to my moms to do some more visiting. Once I start work, I'm not going to have a lot of time to make it over that way so I might as well head that way while we can. I got a membership to a gym in Springfield so I'm going to work out tomorrow. Should be interesting. I will let you know how the appointment goes.

September?!?!?

Wow, time flies. For real. I absolutely cannot believe that Jaxson is 4 weeks old today. I cannot believe it. I have to go back to work in 2 weeks which is going to be absolutely horrible. Getting a paycheck will be nice but it's going to be hard for me to leave the little guy. I will be thinking about him non stop. We are still trying to figure out what we are going to do about a babysitter. Luckily, my manager along with Joe's, are willing to work with us as much as they can. That way, with Joe working in the mornings, I can stay home and then head to work in the afternoon when he gets home. That will be great if that works out most of the time. There is a lady that lives across the street from us that babysits. I'm going to check out a few daycare places in Taylorville which is close by. I'm just horrified to leave him in the care of someone I really don't know. The good news is, he will only need to be watched one or two days a week when Joe and I both work in the morning, and only for a few hours until Joe can pick him up. I'm just a nervous wreck. Being a mother is great. Jaxson has opened up an entire new world for me. He is my life. I have so much love for that little baby!! He is growing fast. I'm looking forward to the Labor Day festivities that are taking place here in Edinburg. My mom and grandma and little Bailey are coming over on Saturday to walk to the carnival. Gracie will have a blast with Bailey on the rides. Well, Sorry it's been a while. Things are crazy!! Life is GREAT!!
