a little of everything

lana turned 6 weeks old sunday! it's amazing how quickly time is flying by. she's already so different than the day we brought her home from the hospital. she smiles on purpose now! not always when you want her to, but it's definitely on purpose when she does! this is the best part though--we're doing babywise and it's AWESOME! lana is already sleeping from 1015pm to 415am...yes, 6 hours straight. i think we're definitely on track for her to sleep thru the night completely by 12 weeks! that's the goal! we can see her little personality molding and taking shape. we're loving her so much in her short little life so far!

i go back to work in a little less than 6 weeks. it's REALLY hard on me, but staying home is not an option right now. i'm trying to think about the positives...she's going to be riding to & from work with me every day & she'll be right downstairs in JCPenney's daycare whenever i'm having separation anxiety. i just really hate that someone else is going to be raising my daughter. i grew up in a home where my mom didn't work and i was so blessed by that! maybe someday....when we get my stupid school loans paid off! :(

i'm finding LOTS of things to keep me busy thru the day while i'm home--not that that's hard with a little one and a house! it's so nice to be able to run errands thru the day when others are at work. and it's so nice not really having 'plans'...just being able to go wherever i want whenever i want (within reason). i really think i need a job that isn't so confining....i like being able to go for mid-afternoon jogs/walks and NOT DRIVE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC!!!! i like being home at 3pm when all the moms are picking their kiddos up from school....ugh. maternity leave is such an incredible vacation. i'm not even kidding. i'm definitely making the most of it!

anyway...here are a few pics of lana from week 6. happy tuesday!
