Seriously...almost 8 weeks!
Wow!
That also means it's time for me to head back to work. Thanks to my MIL I've been able to take an extra two weeks off and thanks to Joe's uncles I've been able to tack an extra week off of what I already planned on taking. I have to say, I'm still not ready to go back. The only thing that is going to get me through the end of the school year is that there isn't much left! Only 2 1/2 weeks when I get back. I so wish I could just take of the rest of the time but financially we are just unable to do it. The other hard thing is the students I work with. They are so mentally, physically and emotionally exhausting. I've never heard of another site like our school/facility. So it's hard to explain exactly how exhausting the job is. I've applied to a few other jobs in "regular" schools for SPED positions but nothing has panned out yet. I'm going to keep applying and keep my fingers crossed that something will pop up.Okay on to good things! Our little girl is getting so big! I like to call it "The big head baby syndrome". I swear if you look at babies, sometimes it seems as if there heads are SOOO much larger than the rest of their bodies. Calais is falling into that same category. Don't get me wrong, it's not completely out of proportion, but her head has definitely gotten larger over the last two weeks!
I've been so lucky that I have been able to stay home with her for this long. I've been able to get her up every morning and say goodnight to her every night. I love that she seems to be recognizing me now and will look in my direction if I talk.We are so lucky that she is pretty even tempered child. She really doesn't cry much and stays happy most of the time! (Which means when she does cry, I still get scared that I don't know what I'm doing!)
Here are a few pictures to get you through til the next post!
She slept with her hand in this position for over 15 minutes!
Hanging out before Mom went to a job interview (in which she didn't get!)

Wordless Wednesday
So I've decided that on Wednesday's I'm going to start posting a picture that inspires me, reminds me of something, or just leaves me with a peaceful feeling...
I may blog upon the picture, telling you what I feel, but for today, it's just a picture!

Playing around w/ layouts
I know I should be posting on baby updates and what not, but right now I've been playing around with the layout of the blog and picking something new. I think that is one thing that blog writers must love about keeping a blog, you can change it around when you get sick of it!
So forgive me for not posting too much on baby girl, I promise I will get better at it. I think I will start putting posting days on my calendar so I update at least 1 x a week!!!
So for now enjoy coming back and seeing if I've changed anything...imagine it's a Where's Waldo type of thing :)
