The end is near...

Well Christmas has come and gone and the New Year is upon us. I can't believe how fast the weeks have flown. We had a nice Christmas spending time with our families. Bryson even met Santa and that went very well! :) I just can't believe Christmas has come and gone so quickly! I guess we say that every year though!

This is my last week staying home with Bryson and it's breaking my heart thinking about it. I never thought it would be so hard to take him to daycare....boy was I wrong. I can't help but worry if he'll be taken care of like he should be. Will they rock him to sleep if he needs to be? Will they know when he's hungry? Will they comfort him if he's upset? It just absolutely breaks my heart to know I wont be there for him. I know I'll be fine once I get used to everything but it's definitely going to be a difficult adjustment. I really hope that Bryson doesn't have too much trouble adjusting to his new environment. I also worry about missing out on major happenings in his life. Will I miss the first attempts to crawl? His first word? His first steps? I sure hope not!

With all that being said, I know it will be good for me to get back to work and get back into the grown up world I've left behind for so long now. I also know that it will be very healthy for me to get out of the house and have the time to myself during the day. I just know I'll be itching to get my arms around my baby at the end of each day!

Anyways I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and I hope the upcoming New Year brings many blessings to everyone! I'm certainly looking forward to what this year has in store for us!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas..

Well another two weeks have passed! Bryson is growing more and more each day. We went and had his first shots last week which was a little hard for mom but Bryson was a trooper. As of that visit he weighed 11 lbs 4 oz and is now 23 inches long. It's hard to believe how big he's getting! Everyone always says that time with a baby just flies by and now I'm really starting to see that. He changes so much every day! We get so many smiles and sounds from him now. Every noise he makes (aside from the crying) is music to my ears. Even as I type now he's in his swing talking away. I can't help but smile and laugh...it's just such a sweet sound.
We are really looking forward to the holidays coming up. This year is going to be so special with a new baby. I've finished up most of my shopping and thankfully I've been able to do a good bit of it online. Shopping with Bryson is not always the easiest thing to do. I've learned he's not too fond of it. We like to wait until the weekend when Daddy can go with us. Bryson loves the Christmas tree. We sit him in his bouncy seat and he just looks the tree up and down. It's precious.
That's about all there is to share right now. Our baby boy continues to get more beautiful each and every day! I can't believe how lucky we are!
