Almost 10 weeks!

Wow I cannot believe my pretty princess will be 10 weeks this week! It's breaking my heart how fast time is flying especially since I know I will have to go back to work soon. I am talking with work about taking off a few extra weeks and not going back until after the first of the year. Fingers are crossed they will let me. There is a lot going on at work and several people are out for various reasons. Also please be praying about work in general. It is getting harder and harder every day to think about leaving Claire. Eric and I are praying for an alternative. We know I have to bring in some income (thanks to our wonderful student loans, sure wish I had a crystal ball about the future when I took those out :-) we are trying to figure something out. We just want what is best for our family and both feel that Claire going to daycare full time is not what is best. I know the sitter we are planning on sending her to will treat her wonderfully, but it breaks our hearts to have someone spending more time with her than one of us. Please be praying for our little family.

Claire had her 2 month check up last week. She now weighs 10 pounds 7 ounces (50th percentile) and is 23.5 inches long (90th percentile, go figure she is taking after her Momma). Doctor said she is growing great!

We are heading home tomorrow morning for Thanksgiving! We are very excited to see our families and for Claire to meet everyone else. We are hoping she isn't getting sick. She has been really stuffy today and coughing. Praying she isn't coming down with something.

Here is our little bit hanging with her Daddy. She is pretty sure he is the funniest person she has ever met. Already a Daddy's girl!

Claire's First Halloween

Claire's first Halloween was lots of fun. At least for me, lol. She was a little grouchy and didn't mind telling me that she could care less about looking like a happy ladybug. Bekah and I made our girl's costumes and had tons of fun doing it. My Mom made all my costume's growing up and I would like to do the same for Claire. I think if I am going to continue the tradition I am going to have to learn how to use my sewing machine.

Pretty Ladybug!

A very mad Ladbug!

Unfortunately Eric got sick over the weekend and it's killing him not to be able to hold his little girl. He is starting to feel better and I am praying Claire doesn't come down with anything. My parents came in for the weekend and Claire had a lot of fun playing with them. Boy she loves her "Papaw", at least that's what we are calling my Dad for now, lol.

Here are a few pics of the pretty ladybug.
