3 Months

Well...I thought it would be easy to post once a month on this blog. Turns out motherhood takes more time than I thought! I write this with baby sound asleep on my shoulder. Feeling his steady breaths on my chest, smelling his baby smell, it is pure bliss. It even outweighs my desire to pee... bad timing there.


We have had a summer of adventure, learning, and fun. I am officially going back to work this Friday. Am I scared? Hells yes. Am I ready? Actually, yes. It has been almost 9 months of time off, and I am excited to get back to it. Tonight I am going in for a few hours to dust off the cobwebs in my post-pregnancy brain, figure out where everything is, what my passwords are and maybe read a few thousand emails. I have been told it will all come back to me, but I have never been away from any job this long, so we shall see.

I am excited to be settling into my new lifestyle and role as a part-time nurse and full-time mom. It still sounds weird to call myself "Mom," but I love it nonetheless.

I am overwhelmed by the idea of explaining all of the adventures we have been on, so here are some pictures.

Camping with a five-week old was a success! His onesie didn't lie, a "Happy Camper" he was!

Our tent (that Sean has had for 20 years) leaked...surprise, surprise. Sean's middle of the night creativity kept us dry!

We visited Aunt Bryn and Uncle Rod. Bryn introduced herself appropriately as his Auntie Mame and he looked up at her and smiled a huge gummy grin. "You just bought yourself a trip to Australia," she replied. We even realized that Jay looks A LOT like Rod's baby picture!


Jay's future lady-friend Annalise came to lunch with us...and her cool Mom Jana too.

Jay and I drove up with Clare to Appleton to visit Babs the week before Andrew arrived.

Momo fed him a bottle or two in Minocqua. Tater Tot was not a fan of a little boy taking away the attention...she was scared of Jay.

I love this.

Tracy and Doc Watson hung out with us one day. We were so happy to catch her on a rare day off from Camp Manito-wish.

Coordinated Fourth of July outfits!

Andrew is here!

Jay finally got to meet his Fairy Godmother, aka Kyla.

Another beautiful day at the beach on Lake Michigan with the Rands and Roes.

Now we will brave the heat for a walk before I go in to work :)
