Saela and Me




Returning to work for the second time since Saela's birth was much more difficult than the first time. Now she smiles, laughs, recognizes and reaches for me and my heart melts over and over again. We had so much fun spending our days together while I had time off between residency and my "real" job. We experienced her first Target run and airplane ride, her six month well-baby check, and six month photos. We spent time learning how to sit and also enjoyed taking long afternoon naps with Jax and Jilly. I found myself trying to memorize every detail about her because she changes everyday. She is growing more hair by the minute and is coming very close to crawling now!
This week was exceptionally challenging and I am exhausted - but I made it all in one piece. With time, the routine will settle in and it will be hard to remember how crazy life has been for the last few months. Saela will be seven months old tomorrow - where does the time go? All I can say is I love my sweet baby girl more everyday - more than I ever imagined was possible.
