All about Lexie...
Lexie will be 12 weeks old on Friday....where has the time gone?? My sweet, tiny, little baby is now a big sweet, chunky baby haha. I cannot believe I gave birth three months ago. However, now that I'm back at work my maternity leave seems like it was ages ago. Oye.
Work has been incredibly busy and stressful. There was no "grace period" or easing into it. It was back and straight to the grindstone, which I guess is good to pass the time. Generally before I know it, it's time to go home.
I haven't been doing much lately other than working and spending time with my little girl. When I get home in the evenings I spend all my time with her until it's time to go to bed. I know I need to help more with dinner and bottle washing but taking care of the baby is much more fun - feedings, baths, changes, and diapers changes. So I guess I at least help in that respect.
We've kind of developed a routine, but it will change once hubby starts school in a week and a half. Then we can really develop our morning and evening routines. Like I mentioned in an earlier post, I have no desire to really do anything other than snuggle my kid. I'm selfish...and I wholeheartedly admit it.
Speaking of selfish...I still haven't moved Lexie to her crib. She's been sleeping through the night for about 6 weeks now, but she still sleeps in her pack-n-play in our room. I wanted to wait until I was more adjusted going back to work before moving her to her room - take one step at a time as far as separation goes. Now I'm starting to feel guilty that she's still in our room and almost 3 months old. I love having her in there though. I love being able to peak over and see her. Or place my hand on her chest. And to watch her wake up in the mornings. However, we have her a beautiful room with a beautiful bed and she does need to be in there...I suppose. I told my husband that we could try it out this weekend. I'm sure her bed is A LOT more comfortable than the pack-n-play, but I selfishly love her with me. I have major attachment issues to her - I wonder if that's normal?? So...we'll try something this weekend. Sad face.
So really my weekdays consist of wake up, shower, get ready, make bottles for daycare, pack daycare bag, feed baby, get dressed, get baby dressed, pack work bag, hand baby to hubby, go to work, come home, change, snuggle baby, feed baby, bathe baby, snuggle baby, feed baby, put family to bed. Whew. Then when the weekends come I add in cleaning house and laundry and then it's still really "cuddle baby." But right now...I'm Ok with that.
So I have nothing fabulous to report other than I love being a mama and that Lexie is the most amazing thing on the face of this Earth and I love her more than anything. I seriously can't get enough of her. I don't know if my heart is big enough for all this love and adoration. I might explode...
So I'll leave you with some picture updates of my girl. I seriously already have over 1,000 pictures of her and she's not even 3 months old. Addicted much?

Your daughter is so adorable! Love all the pictures!
Aubrey is 4 months now, and still sleeping in her pack n play right beside the bed! She started sleeping through the night after turning a month old. I know I'll have to face moving her, but I just haven't yet!
Lexie is so adorable. I LOVE that last picture of her in the sunglasses! Such a little diva!
@Katie - thank you! I'm glad to know Landon is still in your room. That makes me feel a lot better!
@Brandi - thank you!
@Amy - It's makes me feel better that Aubrey is still in y'alls room. I was feeling guilty and rushed so I'm glad there's other babies around her age that still sleep in their parent's rooms :)
Oh she's a diva alright lol
She's so adorable! Don't feel guilty at all about not moving her yet if you aren't ready. Brayden was in our room until he was 7 months old. And I don't feel bad about admitting that at all. :) He WASN"T sleeping through the night so if I was gonna get up a million times I wanted him in my room. :)
She is sooo adorable! I'm so happy for you that she's such a happy baby! Liz and I still need to meet her!
