Back to the grind...

So this week I went back to work. I have to say I'm pretty proud of myself. I didn't even cry!!! It was hard, but I did it. I think the fact that Justin's mom is watching Judah for the next couple of weeks helps. I'm so glad to have that kind of transition before he goes to daycare...boo! Work was extremely busy it was a bit stressful after being out for 2 months. The good thing is that I'm only working 30 hours a week instead of 40 so I get to have one day with my baby!!

We went for Judah's 2 month check up and all went well!! He is in the 75% for his height and weight. (what a chub!) He is up to 12lbs. 10oz. He got 2 of his 4 shots. We go back in 4 weeks for the other 2. I just couldn't bear to give him all 4 at once! He did really well with the shots...he only fussed for a minute and then was fine. The Dr. seemed really impressed with how wide-eyed and strong he is. It was a good visit!! He's getting so big, it seems like he grows more every time I come home from work. I couldn't be happier with our baby boy. He is such a great baby and is really responding and smiling. We are so blessed!

Judah's Dedication




March 1, 2009 was the day that we Formally dedicated Judah to the Lord. My prayer for Judah is to that he will love the Lord and follow His plan for his life. If I raise my son to fear and love the Lord then I have done what I am called to do as a mother. It's a heck of a calling, but I pray I can full fill it. Judah did so great during his dedication; I was so proud. I tried to take in every moment and every word.

It was also a bittersweet day for us. It was sweet because of the formality of what we were doing and having family there to witness it..the bitter part of the day was when Justin's Nana Bussell had a stroke as we were leaving lunch. She is on the mend right now, but has a long road ahead of her. We all feel that if this had to happen to her then this was the best case scenario. We were all there together...I mean she could have been driving or alone. She is in a great hospital here and is out of the ICU unit. If you think about it please say a prayer...her name is Shirley Bussell.
