Long week and a half..

Up and ready for daycare!!!

It has been the longest but shortest week and a half of my life. I say shortest very loosely because I feel like I have just been in just a whirlwind of emotions and new routines that I don't even know where the last few weeks went to.

First two days of daycare went well as far as getting her there and to work on time, but by Friday night I was so exhausted I could barely keep my eyes open. My biggest issue at first was time management. I had to figure out the best time for me to get up and get all of my morning chores done along with getting her ready, fed and us out the door by 6:30...running on just a few hours sleep because she has decided that she doesn't want to sleep through the night anymore. I feel like with her still not waking up at the same time every morning that I have to play my morning by the last time she woke up. I have gotten this down pretty well along with my pumping schedule at work. I am just counting down the days until summer break is here and I don't have to pump so much..it is very time consuming but I know that it is for the best so I just keep pumping on :)

I noticed Friday night that Lyla's nose was kind of stuffy...well by Saturday it was terrible. Only two full days at daycare and she already has her first little cold. I felt horrible for her and she still has the stuffy nose but it has not bothered her one bit. I think it bothers me more than her..she loves when I get the aspirator out and cleans her nose...she just laughs, but she isn't a big fan of the saline drops. I took her into the doctor Monday just in case it was something more serious but she said it wasn't and just to keep an eye on her for the next two weeks. She is still eating fine and her sleeping was off before her nose but I think it may have a little do to with she can't breath at night. I keep the humidifier going but it seems to not be doing much either.

We got some terrible news on Saturday that Jason's first cousin Jerry had passed away and so he had to load up and head to Arkansas Sunday...we were hoping that we were going to get to go but it just didn't work out. It was a very hard time for their family but Lyla and I prayed for them daily and we are still keeping them in our thoughts. He was an amazing person just for the few times that I did get to meet him and I know that he will be missed by all, but he is now in heaven watching down on all of us.

Thursday morning I was getting Lyla ready to head out the door and Jason cuddled up next to her and said he thought that she needed to spend the day together with him. I was very happy that he wanted to keep her all day although a small thought in the back of my head was like he has only watched her for a few hours not 8-9 but I KNEW that he could do it and I headed off to work. He never once sent me a message asking anything I had to send him one to see how it was going and he said that he was having a GREAT day with his little angel..it melted my heart :)

Friday 3:30 finally arrived and we began our weekend together. We had a couples baby shower to go to last night and it was a lot of fun and now we are rested up and heading to another Spring BBQ. Times like this are even more precious now with Lyla and our little family I am beyond blessed and thank God daily that he has provided for us and has given us so many blessings.

Only 6 more full weeks of school and then the final week of craziness until I am home to spend probably the best summer ever with my little Diva!!!

My Easter onesie my Aunt Lindsey made me :)

Happy girl!!
