New Year's Eve 2012

I can't believe that the end of 2012 is a mere 4 and 1/2 hours away!  This year has brought many joys and tears.  Our family remained healthy this year, exceptionally blessed with this.  Our beautiful daughter has grown by leaps and bounds.  She is smart and into everything.  The boys have adjusted well to our move to Florida.  Besides being smart and good looking they make friends easily!  Patrick and I are adjusting to our new jobs and have been enjoying the Florida weather.

We lost Gma B last month but feel greatful that we got to come to Michigan this summer so Ellie could meet everyone.  In all, we hope everyone has an amazing 2013!

I have the men in my life wrapped around my little finger! :)

Update

It has been so long since I posted anything...Here is a quick run down.  I started back to work and Ellie started Day Care.  It was very hard to leave her but I see her everyday on my lunch break.  It helps to split up the day.  Some days she is asleep and never even knew I came but I know :)

Our girl was 11.5 lbs on her last check up September 8th.  She is getting so big so fast!  She is a wonderful little one.  She is sleeping through the night which has been good for her and mommy!!!!!

My new hat!

Week 5 update

Ellie is officially five weeks old today!  After a struggle to get back up to her birth weight we finally did last week.  Then she gain 8 more ounces this week!  She is having some blood tests completed to check a liver enzyme that has been elevated.  We will monitor this closely.

I have had my maternity leave extended to after labor day.  I am getting more and more anxious about returning to work.  I keep alternating between staying at home or going back to work...what to do, what to do...
