Happy Friday!

 Marley is glad that it's Friday!  Yesterday was "shot day"...her 2 month check-up at the pediatrician's office and she got 4 shots, 2 in each leg.  What a trooper!  This was probably soooo much harder on me than it was on her.  She cried so hard that she could barely breathe and her face was bright red.  I felt so sad!!!!!!  Helpless!!  And afterwards, she just cuddled in to my chest and wimpered.  My poor baby girl!  On a brighter note, the doctor said she is EXTREMELY healthy and the only problem we're dealing with is a case of mild infant colic.  It seems horrible to us now, but we were reassured that it is normal and has reached it's peak by about 2 months of age.  Hopefully she is on the downswing and we can have our happy baby back from the hours of 7pm-11pm.  Daddy is beginning to think Marley hates him!  As soon as he gets home from work, she starts getting crabby.  

She celebrated her first St. Patrick's Day with us on Wednesday.  Since Daddy is a little bit Irish, we dressed her up in some green for the fun of it!  We also got a visit from Uncle Jesse that night!

Grandma Connie was over today to hang out with us and I'll see Auntie Brenna and Grandma Kathy tomorrow!  So many visitors!  We're winding down our time at home together!  Only 2 more weeks and I will be back at work.  I'm feeling a huge mix of emotions...happy to be getting out of the house a bit (though I wish it was just for 4 hours a day), sad to be leaving my baby, scared of how she'll manage, or how I'll manage...so nerve-racking!  I keep trying to look at the bright side...the fact that Marley is still my baby and just because going back to work makes me feel like I'm losing her in some way, I am not.  She is still mine and she will be waiting for me everyday...like a light at the end of the tunnel to a long day at work.  She is the best part of our lives and I know that I will still find time to see her and I'll cherish every minute with her even more than I do now!  My little munchkin!  Just love her to pieces and can't imagine my life without her!  I can't do anything that I used to do, well almost, and that is fine with me, because our lives have been forever changed by little Miss Marley Jean!  Yay!!

Have a great weekend everyone!!
