Meme and Kirsten - 2010

Gordon and I have been so thankful and feel so blessed that my Mom has been able to spend the past 5 weeks with us helping to watch Kirsten. Plus, we still get another 3 more weeks of help!

I "officially" went back to work on 1/11... I use it in quotes because I actually went back earlier (not by choice), but my "official" date back was to be 1/11. A BIG thank you to my Mom for being there to watch Kirsten. It is always hard for a Mom to go back to work and leave their little one, but knowing she was with my Mom (or Meme) made it SO much better... and easier. I don't think a daycare provider would appreciate the "just checking-in" phone calls throughout the day. Plus, Gordon and I have the best of all worlds! What "Nanny" would cook, clean, do laundry, watch your child, and pay for the groceries???

Kirsten has taken to her Meme so well; attached are some photos of her looking at her Meme while in her swing--notice the BIG smiles!!

Meme is the Best!!





Meme and Kirsten!

Update!

Sorry it has been so long since my last post! I officially started back to work and I've been trying to balance home and work life. My Mom has been here to help since mid-December and we are SO thankful. It has been such a BIG help to have her with us and she loves every moment she gets to spend with Kirsten!

Kirsten is already 9 weeks old and I can't believe how fast the time has gone by~ She had her 2 month check-up and got an A+ report. Actually, the doctor was surprised by her height/length; she grew 4 inches in 8 weeks to make her official length at 23.75 inches (91st percentile)!! She weighed in at 10 lbs, which is average for her gender and age (55th percentile).

Here are some photos!!
