3 months

So today marks our little Addy's three month mark. She is getting so big and gaining such a little diva personality. She is now saying so many "words". Her and I will have little conversations every day. It's so cute, to me, that she will lay on my lap and sit there squeaking to me and smiling. I never thought that I would say that my fun for the day was me squeaking. I absolutely love how vocal and lively she is. She makes me want to wake up every morning just so that I can see her and be with her. I love every chance that I get to hold her and cuddle her as well as to just plain sit and stare at her. She is getting better at sleeping in her cradle, and will sleep almost the entire night usually waking up around 6 or so in the morning. She doesn't like to sleep, so much, in her boppy anymore which means that mom's back has been a lot better not having to sleep out on the couch with her just so that she will sleep. She for a brief moment loved her new vibrating chair that her aunt Erika let us borrow, but now she doesn't like it so much. She still loves to swing in her swing and play with her birdies on the mobile. She has now discovered the mirror on the mobile and will sit and squeak at herself. It's the cutest thing ever! She also is starting to like rattles and will sit intently for quite a while watching mom or dad shake a rattle watching it move and looking at it's bright colors. She is still having issues with me having any kind of dairy, but it is getting better. I introduced a little bit of milk into my day a couple of weeks ago, and she didn't have massive gas pains like she used to have, but she still had the runs pretty bad. So hopefully soon mom can go back to having dairy when her digestive system can fully handle it. I know that I said this last post, but I never thought I would have been able to love something so much. I will do anything for her.

Speaking of anything... I started back to work last week, and it was the hardest thing that I think I have ever had to do. I was an emotional mess the entire week I was on. I'm sure that the other grave tech (a man) was loving my "emotionalness" and couldn't wait 'till our seven off started just so he could have a break from his crazy coworker. I hate the fact that I have to leave my baby every night. I cried every night driving into work, and my other co-workers learned to not talk about the subject or else they would have a bawling mess on their hands. I definitely have a new found gratefulness to my seven days off now. Also because I am having such a hard time being a working mom I am trying to find everything and anything that will make it so that I can stay home with my baby. Sooo I may have done something that I never thought I would ever do in this life time, but I was recently introduce to the world of Mary Kay by my friend. This girl, Kristin, needed some "faces" so that she could get closer to earning her Mary Kay car. I thought that it would be fun to have a Mary Kay facial done so I went. I didn't realize that this girl was around the same age as me until I arrived at her house. She then started talking to me about the only reason she joined was so that she could be home with her two kids, and still provide an income for her little family so that her husband didn't have to try and do it on his own. This of course intrigued me, but I was thinking that there would be no way I would be able to sell makeup since so many people that I know have given Mary Kay ladies such a bad name because they have been so pushy in past years even thought that's not how it is now with MK. Kristin, then invited me to go and listen to a presentation about Mary Kay and she would give me some free makeup if I went along with it being free dinner. I, of course, liked the word free in there plus it also helped her get closer to earning her car so I thought I would be nice and go. I went and it wasn't bad I just listened and now was more intrigued since there were other girls there that were doing MK to stay home with their kids. I asked any questions that I had and left. My mom went with me and we talked about it on the way home. I started to tell her that I would do it if I knew that I wasn't the sole income and didn't have to carry the health insurance, and that was the extent of me thinking about doing it. I kinda talked to Brock about it, but I still had the same reserved feelings about being the main income etc. I think that Kristin could tell that I was interested so she invited Brock and me to a free MK dinner at Bella's in North Ogden. We went and listened to a speaker talk about how she has made millions of dollars over 17 years of doing MK and how she was just like me in the fact that she never wore make up, wasn't very girly at all, and wanted to find a way to stay home with her kids. The dinner ended and on our way home Brock talked about how he thinks that I would be good at MK and this would be a way that I could stay home with Addy eventually, but if I did it now it would be a way for us to pay for another car. I liked the idea, but was still thinking that I don't want to burn myself out and be working too much with my regular job and then MK on top of that. Well while we were at the dinner Brock got a call about an interview for a forensics job in Mesa, AZ. WAHOO!!! Plus he has also a high possibility of getting a FT job at the place that he works now and with benefits and perks and everything else be making quite a bit of money. With all this I was put at ease about me staying as the main income for a while. SOOOO I decided to do the craziest thing ever and become a MK lady!!!! I know I know I'm super crazy, but with what I've seen so far of it, it's like a glorified relief society, plus I get to dress up and be all pretty and socialize with other women at least once a week. :)

Anywho, so things have been a little crazy for us lately, but I'm grateful for it all. Wow! I never imagined that so many things would happen like this in only three months! I wouldn't change any of it for the world and like I said before I will do anything for my precious little girl even it that means becoming a crazy MK lady :).
