I felt like I better blog before even more time gets away from us! Henry is almost 10 weeks old, meaning my maternity leave is almost over - just a few more days and it's back to work. I am definitely feeling emotional this week, sometimes looking forward to going back to the working world but mostly feeling scared of leaving little Henry. I'm not too concerned about Abbie - she adjusts so well and I know she will probably be happy to get out of the house more and play with other kids! She will start preschool in a few weeks, and her and Henry will both be staying with a stay at home Mom who has a baby and a 3-year old daughter. I'm so glad they will be together, in the afternoons at least, and then I will be able to go see Henry at lunch too because my office is really close to the lady keeping them.
We took Henry to the doctor yesterday for his 2-month check up. He weighed 12lbs, 14 0z - which was about 80% on the growth charts! Wow! I knew he was gaining but I didn't realize he weighed that much. And everything else looked great with him too. He had to have 3 shots which I wasn't excited about, but thankfully he handled them well.
He is waking up around 3:30 to eat at night and that's it - he goes back to sleep until about 6 or 7. I'm sure I'll be worn out going back to work at first but hopefully he'll start going longer soon.
That's about it for the kids updates. Despite how hard it's been on some days handling the two, I'm really going to miss being home. I am so happy I have had this time with both of them, and that we've really been able to enjoy Atlanta even in the heat! We've had lots of time at the pool, and play dates with our neighbors. It's been a great transition for me down here because being off I've been able to get to know more people around town. We are really liking it here and feel like this could definitely be a long term place to live!
