Pictures!
I can't believe I never posted Maisie's newborn pictures! My mommy completely spoiled us by paying for Maisie's newborn pictures and Kaiah's two year pictures with the amazing Heather Telford. These pictures are priceless to me and I will cherish them forever!
Maisie face is growing fast!
I seriously cannot believe how fast the time is flying. Maisie is everything you think of when happy baby comes to mind. She smiles and coos and laughs and plays. She puts up with her sister's smothers and crazy mood swings with patience and love. I don't think there is anything that Maisie loves more than Kaiah, and I know that Kaiah is obsessed with Maisie.
The biggest question I always get is if it is hard to leave the girls for work. Of course it is hard. It is the hardest thing I have ever done. I miss them so much while I am away, and I hate not knowing every single detail about their daily lives. I miss knowing what Kaiah ate for lunch, which shows she watched on T.V., and how many times she went potty. I miss seeing every single one of Maisie's smiles and being there to soothe her when she cries. I miss it so much that it kills me inside. But, at the same time, I love teaching. I actually feel like I am one of a very, very, very select group of people who are lucky enough to find a job that they are both good at and love. My work fulfills me. I want to be home with my girls someday (it isn't an option for us right now), but I can't imagine not teaching.
I was really scared about going back to work. I was terrified to have to pump so much, how Maisie would handle her new crazy schedule, and if I was emotionally strong enough to handle being away from my ridiculously beautiful girls. Three weeks down, and things are better than expected. I cannot explain how amazingly grateful I am that Maisie both breastfeeds and takes the bottle like a pro. Breastfeeding means so much to me, and I didn't want to give that up. She is such a good girl. I am also so grateful that my awesome sister-in-law Sara watches my girls with all the love in the world, and then blogs about them everyday so that I can be a part of their midday lives.
I just wish time would slow down (or stop!). My girls are so much more than I could have every hoped for, and they are growing up way too fast!
