The Working Mom

I never thought I would be the Mom that worked all the time. I thought I would be more active in my children's life. But as it turns out, I had no choice but to work. Finances are low  and it makes more sense for my husband to be the one to stay home with Olivia right now. It breaks my heart. I cant wait for the day that comes and I can be home with her. I am always so happy when weekends are here so I can cherish these times. But they go by way to fast. Vacations are always fun, but I always have my anxiety when I have to go back. It hurts so much to be away from her. Time is just going by so fast and I am missing so much. Cuddles are the best from her. I love when she is so excited that I have just come home from work. ughh I love that little girl so much and I hope she knows that, and that I am working so hard so that so will never go without.

Nine Months

Olivia is 9 months now. Where did the time go? She plays peekaboo, loves to eat (even though she wont eat finger foods on her own), still sleeps through the night, loves Mickey Mouse Club House and she can now crawl!! She is now forever mobile. What am I going to do!!!

I love being a mom to this little girl more than anything. I still wish I oculd be home more often. I have told myself that the next baby I will be the stay at home mom. One thing that is different from what I thought would happen is that Olivia still knows who I am. Even though I am gone long hours of the day she still wants to be with only me when I am home. It makes me feel so much better. I love her cuddles and hugs. She is now getting into the shy stage so when I am holding her she cuddles close to me and wraps her arms around me. Makes me feel so special.

I am currently planning her 1st birthday! how scary is that. It is going to be Minnie Mouse themed. So much fun!

The one thing I need to do is get back to the gym. I need to lose this weight . Currently (i cant believe I am saying this) i am 230lbs and I would like to be at 150lbs. SO what this means is instead of saying I cant go I have Olivia is that I need to step up and let the free say care at the gym watch her. But that entails someone other than family has to watch her and I need to be able to hand her off. GAHHHHHH. My mom tells me, "you will be in the building , just drop her off." easier said then done.

I think tonight we might go for a nice walk.
