Five weeks have flown by!! I cannot believe that Blakely is 5 weeks old and that my maternity leave is coming to an end!! Five weeks sounded like such a long time when it started, but now.... now I am starting the grieving process. :( I know that everything is going to be okay. My time with her is not over, it will just look different. I am just going to miss her so, so much!! Most of all I am going to miss cuddling in the mornings as we watch the Today Show and drink coffee. Such a sweet time. ***sigh***
I am very blessed and have nothing to worry about with going back to work though. She doesn't have to stay with a stranger (ie a nanny) or go to daycare (ie germ central). No my sweet baby gets to spend everyday with a perky, world-renowned educator who loves her more than life itself... her GiGi!!! Who could ask for better childcare? And best of all.... she's free! Perfect!
Oh-oh-oh... the Blake-A-Bear!! She is such a funny baby. She has the most expressive face that always tells you just what she is thinking. I think in this picture she is saying, "what are we doing mommy? more pictures? really?"
Weekly Statistics:
Weight: 9 pounds 7 ounces (up 14 ounces in 2 weeks!! Go girl!!)
