J4

So happy to know that we aren't doing the J4 booth again this year! What a weight off my shoulder especially with the 4 day notice! Not cool. Anyway, just two more days and it's a 3-day weekend for me, though we have no plans, I'm looking forward to spending the whole weekend with my favorite girl, Ella. I miss her so much today! Can't wait to see her tiny face after work.

If there isn't anything to do, I wouldn't mind going away to Wisconsin Dells for the weekend. But we'll see what the boo has to say about that.

Gloomy day

Another 45 minutes and I am officially off work for the day. Today was one of those days where time just wouldn't move and there just wasn't enough work to help keep my mind off going home.

Nonetheless, that time is almost here. I can't wait to go home to Ella. Daddy is picking her up so I can just go straight home. I have so many errands to run but I think I'll hold off until tomorrow.

Ella turns 2 months

Happy two months to my dear daughter Ella Xayavong. I can't believe she is already two months already. Time is definitely not stopping. Our lives have changed so much and all for the better. There isn't a single day that I don't look forward to her little face and smile. I love my little Astro Girl.

Happy birthday, Ella. Mommy loves you. (Here she is about at about 8 weeks.)

Back to work

It's officially my second day of work back and I hate it! I miss my mornings with Ella so much. It's been so hard having to get up so early and knowing I have to prepare her to just simply drop her off at my mom's and not being able to see her for 8 - 10 hours! I don't understand why during the most crucial time in our baby bonding that us mothers have to be so away for so long without our baby. I do realize that having a job right now is crucial so I guess I better just suck it up..

Anyway, we're planning a trip down to FL and Mississippi really soon to visit Ella's grandma, uncle and aunts. I would really love to travel when it's cooler but when school comes around, time won't be so nice anymore. I can't wait for them to meet her and it'll be nice to get away from MN for a little.

Baby update!

Today my baby is officially 7 weeks and 4 days old! She is growing so fast and learning things everyday. Her developments have gotten more and more advance. She's starting to smile when I talk to her now. Also when she cries, she knows when I'm close by and cries even louder. What a brat. 

My bond with her and growing everyday but I'm sad to say that her dad's bond with her hasn't been quite as strong. It would be nice if he'd try a little harder. 

Anyway, I've been recording her almost every week. Here are some videos of my baby as she has grown in the past few weeks.
