Stay At Home Mom

Well, today is my last official day of employment!  I did go back to work for about a day and a half to exit, two weeks ago.  It was weird, after 12 years of always working, not working feels strange.  I can tell you first hand though that staying home with an infant and an almost 3 year old, and running a house is more work than I ever did while employed.  :)  Forgive me for not writing much anymore...other things have just become more important and I don't have much time for 'me' anymore.  Most days showers happen at night, mornings are spent snuggling my sleepy girls in bed and trying to stick to the schedule of bottles, diaper changes, pumping and nap times.  Oh and throw feeding myself and going to the bathroom in there too.  Seriously, Mom's do not get any privacy, not even to use the restroom...but all Mom's know that. 

Last week my Mom took Kyla to the park for me for a few hours, to let her play and to give me a bit of a break.  Kyla said she had fun, but while she was in the wading pool some kids came up to her and were grabbing at her arm, which she doesn't like.  My Mom saw it and yelled at them to leave her alone and before leaving, they went ahead and splashed Kyla in the face with water.  All because she doesn't have a hand.  So sweet huh?  When my Mom and Kyla got back to the house and I heard about this, it just broke my heart.  Kids can be so cruel, it's not adults, it's kids that get me.  This is why all parents should take the time to teach their kids and explain to them that not all people are the same and that is OK...unfortunately a lot of parents are lazy and could care less about explaining that to them.  The Mom of these particular children was too busy suntanning to realize or pay attention to her children that were playing in the pool.  I don't know what kind of Mom doesn't watch their kids when they are in water, but obviously not a good one.

Anyhow.  Emma is now over two months old and chunky!  Went to the doctor yesterday and she is 11 lbs., 1 oz.  And 75% for height, I don't remember what her exact measurements were for length, but she is 50% weight, 75% height.  Here is a photo I edited of her today, that I took a few days ago.  Check back in whenever I have time again.
