I can't believe it

I'm so depressed as reality is setting in and I know I only have two weeks left of being a full time mommy. Yes, the plan is for me to only finish out this year, but still, six weeks away from her just doesn't seem right. I miss her so much even if I just run to the store. I can't bear the thought of my maternity leave ending. However, it is what it is and I am so happy that family will be able to watch her while I'm gone. So since, I am facing the light at the end of the tunnel I have been thinking about how to make their time with Hannah as easy as possible. One big thing is that Hannah takes three naps a day and I hold her during all three. She sleeps in her bed full time at night, but during the day she just likes to be attached to me. This results in about five hours of being confined to the rocker. That's a lot of precious time that I'm sure our family members would appreciate. So, this week Hannah and I started on the journey of getting her to nap in her big crib. I decided to start with five minutes of crying and said to myself that if she was still crying after that, I would pick her up. The plan was to increase it to ten minutes next week but...that won't be necessary because she is doing it! It makes me sad to think that she is no longer the teeny tiny baby that needed to sleep on my chest, but it makes me proud that Tim and I are doing things right and she is progressing just as she should. Some people say they don't really care for the infant stage, but I absolutely love it and I know I will feel the same way at every stage because she is my precious baby girl and I couldn't love anything or anyone more.


She's so silly


She loves bathtime. She kicks her feet and splashes mommy which makes her smile


Here's my proof
