The Trip to Titusville

Jude, Liam, and I decided to go down to Titusville to visit my family. It was so much fun and I am so glad we did it. I was a little nervous about driving down there with the two kids by myself but it went really well. We stopped in Gainesville on the way down and saw Kelli and Ricky and ate some delicious Chipotle. ;) We also got to see Terri and Kevin while we were there. Jude loved feeding Zoey pretzels and swinging with Kevin. Liam fell asleep on Terri for basically the whole time we were there which was great...gave me a nice break. ;) Lauren stopped by for a little while too and was able to see both of the boys. We had a birthday celebration for Aunt Janet and my cousin Eric while we were down there. It was so great to see everyone. Grandma Veronica helped me so much while we were down there...what a blessing. It was like Spring Break for me! Jude was sad when we left, he cried in the car for Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Karen. I know that Jude loves Uncle Chris but right now Uncle Chris has a slight aversion to drool and dirty diapers. ;) I wish I would have taken more pictures while I was down there but we were so busy having fun that I kept forgetting. Every time I visit I wish that we lived closer. Hopefully one day that will be a reality...

Liam at 12 weeks

I decided to have a mini photo shoot in honor of my last day home with Liam. It is a bittersweet day but I am trying to stay positive about it. I love what I do I just love my babies more. ;) But, we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day and we have been having a blast! God has really answered my prayers regarding going back to school and I am able to start back with Family Medicine with a husband and wife couple that have 8 kids and are the most understanding physicians I have ever met. They both said they would be really flexible with me and even allow me to bring Liam to work since he was premature and they would feel better about him not being in day care. I didn't ask for that of course, they offered it to me. She said she brought her babies to work for awhile and she breast fed all 8 of hers. So, this has really been a blessing. Liam still sleeps a good portion of the day and spends most of the other time eating. He is active in the evenings before bed so as long as his schedule stays the same, things should work out well.

We are working on getting the house organized so that life will run smoothly once we are both in school. The last tenants left the yard a mess and allowed a lot of weeds to take over the grass so I have been slowly uprooting those. The flowers that I planted a few weeks ago are getting huge! Slowly but surely things are coming together. We are trying to get the third bedroom in order since we are going to be transitioning Liam into the crib soon. I can't believe he is getting so big! These first three months have been amazing, so much fun. I am so blessed to have had this time with him. He is smiling and cooing all the time. He is such a happy baby. He only woke up once last night which was awesome!! I remember getting up at 6 and thinking...have I really just slept 4 hours straight?! Today he sat in his bumbo seat for the first time. He likes that a lot better than tummy time. ;) Enjoy the pics!
