2 months old!

The past week has been a rough one on me because I returned to work on Wednesday, and I also had the not-so-fun task of turning in my 2 weeks notice. I feel really bad for dropping the bomb on the first day back, because I know that they were all looking forward to my return after working extra hard to pick up the slack. Fortunately, they understood and said that they were not surprised. They are great people to work with but the hours are just horrible for a new mom wanting to spend time with her baby. They did offer me to stick around for just a couple afternoons per week, so that may work out great!

David sent me these beautiful flowers since he knew my first day back would be hard.

I've decided to pursue a totally different path and try out home health therapy. I can make my own hours and make the same $$ as I was in about half of the hours. I'm going to start out part-time for now (starting in a few weeks!) and work up to full-time down the road assuming all goes well. From a flexibility and financial standpoint, it's a no brainer! Keeping my fingers crossed!

It's actually been nice to resume normalcy. We have made it out of the house a lot more lately too!

We discovered our new hang out, Fuzzy's Tacos! Cheap food, cheap drinks, outside patio, and close to the house. Can't beat that.

We have also gone to a few Oktoberfest celebrations! I went with Anne and my parents to Addison Oktoberfest while David "babysat!" Is it called babysitting when it's your own kid?! David and I went to McKinney Oktoberfest the following weekend with Anne and my dad. German beer is NOT my friend. Hangovers are 10x worse when you are a mom! Lesson learned.

 

 

 

We also made it to the Ranger's 1st playoff game on Friday. Not a good outcome. Don't get me started on CJ's performance and their offense, or lack thereof! Had a great time though! Thank you for watching our little guy, Cindy!

 

 

Nico continues to change every day! He is so alert and easily smiles, coos, and reacts to people's voices and faces! It's so cool to go into his room in the middle of the night to feed him and have him smile back at me! He still moves his arms and legs around like crazy. His head control is getting better and he is really close to being able to keep it up without support. He is a pretty fun guy!

 

He loves his daddy...

Uncle E came over to say hi!
