This last month has been great! I actually ended up staying home with Maggie all month! Well, we didn't actually stay home much, but due to The Great Chicken Pox Outbreak of 2017 at Daycare, and a boss who was kind enough to let me stay home and not endanger my child, I was able to stay home an extra month.
We did a lot of stuff during that month, too. We trained with Mrs. Sarah Vincent at the karate studio. We flew to Philadelphia to go see a dinosaur exhibit. That was an exhausting trip which was compounded by the cold front that came through the Northeast, and the fact that DS threw up on me the last night we were there (too much junk was consumed that day). The evening in which total crap was consumed, we'd gone to our first Major League Baseball game (it was a first for everyone but Scotty). Maggie slept through the action and really didn't even see the first play as she remained covered up in her car seat the whole 5 innings we were there. It was COLD. We had a great time, though, visiting Philadelphia.
Maggie Lee has rolled over a couple more times and has even said a word, "Wow!" I wouldn't necessarily categorize it as her first word since I think it was just a sound that kind of sounded like a word, but DS was right there when she said it too and he is pretty adamant that it was. From a height and weight perspective, my little sweet pea is:
- Weight:
- Height:
- Diapers: Size 1
- Clothes: 3 months
I am going back to the real world of being a mama who works outside the home, and I know I'll jump right back in there where I left things back at the office. I will say, though, that I have enjoyed my time at home with my girl, more than I did with either of the boys. I guess I have a better grasp on motherhood now than I did with them. But also, knowing she is the caboose, I think, makes it a little more special too. I've always said I could never be a full-time stay-at home mom, and I still maintain that since I know frequent personal training sessions, and lunch dates and middle-of-the-day visits with friends wouldn't necessarily be a regular part of our day. But I do look forward to the routine that we'll get into since I've not done the greatest job of getting into a routine during my time at home. So I guess I should say that I've embraced it more this last go-round. So I look forward to going back to work. And I look forward to the milestones that are coming our way with Maggie too!
