...as my Maternity leave comes to an end.

Its been a wonderful three months that I've had off work. I don't know how mothers have a baby and then go right back to work. This three months has blown by and I'm going to be so sad not spending all day with Max. There is a guilty part of me that is excited to get back to work and have a little "free" time during the day. But there is a larger part of me that feels nervous about leaving him at a nannies house all day. We've found an abuelita around the corner (thanks to Jane!) who will be able to watch Max for us. She doesnt speak any English (but her daughter does) so it will be interesting trying to communicate with her - as the Mission Madre knows very little Spanish. Tomorrow is the first day that Max will be with her all day (and I'm bound to be a nervous wreck) I'm also back to work tomorrow - so I will be a hectic, nervous wreck)

I wish we had moved to Canada awhile ago - as my Uncle tells me that Canadian women get 12 months maternity off! I'd be up there popping kids out every 12 months. ha!

So aside from having to go back to work, we'll be pretty busy with some important life altering decisions (I'll blog more about this later as I don't want to jinx anything!!)

Ok back to Max...He's getting bigger (or maybe it just feels that way!) We weighed him a week or so ago on the Wii Fit Plus and he was 14 lbs. I then was out with another Mission Madre the other day and stopped by Natural Resources and plopped him down on the scale there (which he barely fit length wise) - 15 lbs! No wonder I've lost so much weight - this kid is sucking it out of me!

After Natural Resources, we hit up Salvation Army where I scored a super cute vintage OshKosh B'Gosh jacket for Max. He's going to be one stylin dude - I'm going to make sure of it! Here's a cute little hat I got for him at H&M (Danny has a grown up version)


We will be busy taking Max on trips the next 2 weekends. Going to visit Grandma and Grandpa in Orange, CA (driving) and then the following weekend we are heading to NY(flying!). It will be interesting to see how he handles the car ride and flight!

Ok I want to squeeze as much Max time as I can out of whats left of my weekend...MM out
