First Walk... Can't Wait for Spring!!

February 17, and I was able to take Brynn out on a walk in the stroller today! Who would have thought?? It showed me, once again, how out of shape I am in. I am a little nervous about that. It is going to be hard at first once I can start working out again. Literally hard. It is going to be painful... and I HAVE to work through that. I am determined.




I also opened Brynn's savings account today, and she has a good start (in terms of money)! I met my friend Petrie.. she works at US Bank, and she had someone help me get it set up, and then we went to Chipotle for lunch. It was so nice!

Let's see... Monday Dan and I did make it to Bennetts for dinner for Valentine's Day. Brynn was so good! She just sat peacefully all through dinnner. We really are lucky, she is such a good baby! Tuesday and Wednesday I tried to catch up with some sleep. When Brynn went back to sleep at like 7am, I did too... we stayed in bed until 11 or so, and I think it helped. Then, Brynn has slept through the night the last two nights! She has been awake the last 2 days a lot, and I think that helps.





I really think I got my first real smile out of her this morning... she wasn't sleeping, she wasn't gassy, she just was happy and looking at me and smiling! :) Now should this happen consistently if it was a true smile? How do I know for sure? I guess we will see if it continues.

I am having a hard time dressing Brynn right now. She fits best into 0-3 month clothes, but I swear, there is none! And the few things I have in that size 1- are pajamas 2- I find in the store, and it is all spring clothes! So, she has been in sleepers and newborn clothes that are a little small.

Let's see, this weekend is going to be busy. I can't wait to just have a weekend where Dan and I can relax! We have a weekend to Duluth planned for our Anniversary--and we will bring Brynn to Duluth for the first time, and I can't wait!! When we went up last year, I would have never thought that this year for our anniversary, I would have a 2 month old daughter. It truly is amazing how life can change in just a year!

Anyway, on Saturday we have my cousin's daughter's 2nd birthday party, and I am going to a friend's from work that night for a get-together. Sunday, we are hoping to make it to Grandma Babich's. She is watching Dan's Grandparent's dog, Sassy, while they are in Uruguay visiting Uncle David... (he is the US Ambassador of Uruguay, and Dan and I are hoping to make a trip there this summer as well.) Again... sidetracked... Sassy is a very energetic dog, so we may bring Kolby and Maia to play with her, and of course they want to see Brynnie!

Brynn will be 6 weeks on Tuesday-- holy cow-- but I am SO THANKFUL that Dan and I are in the position to let me stay home until September. I can't imagine going back to work next week!! Speaking of, I need to find a daycare for her... so if anyone has any recommendations for home daycares in South St. Paul or Inver Grove, feel free to message me via facebook or email (kathleen.babich@gmail.com) This is stressing me out... so if anyone can help, I would appreciate it!

Hope everyone has a good weekend!
