Last week home

We're coming up on the last week of maternity leave. Super sad about it. I have to keep reminding myself that I am one lucky lady to have spent 12 weeks with my boy. Plus I get to go back to a job that is only four days a week, pays really well, offers loan forgiveness, and is flexible enough that, if I needed to, I could take off in short notice should Jack get sick or something come up. My coworkers text me often and everyone seems like they are looking forward to having me back. I'll try to keep crying to minimum that first week. I am so thankful that my parents are going to come down to stay with Jack on my first day back. I won't have to worry about a thing and mom offered to bring Jack to see me over my lunch break. I may have to take her up on that :) Below is Jack in the cute bib his cousin Haleigh got him.

This week, Corvetta is coming to stay with Jack Tuesday-Friday. It will help us all get used to one another and to the idea of leaving him with her. She is super nice and I'm looking forward to having the help in the coming week. Justin and I are also going to try out our new schedule starting at some point this week. He'll take the 1am feed, and I'll take the 4am. Then, I'm going to get ready as if for work after that. Corvetta isn't coming at 7:30, but instead 8am, and I'll do something outside the house every day. Practice makes perfect. And I'll try not to "creep" on him all day with the baby cam.

Jack is still really enjoying his baths. Look at all those rolls! I love them. He's not quite splashing around in the water yet but he loves to have water poured over him.

My last week, I plan to gets lots of cuddling in. Here is picture of him this past week during our afternoon nap together.

Jack is so much fun. He is really jabbering up a storm. My little chubbers is also playing with toys for real. He gets his little hands on them and pats, rubs, pushes, etc.

Super cute. He's also started noticing his reflection in the mirror in the front hall. He likes that baby in the mirror ;) Please ignore my goofy smiles.
