I can't believe we are already almost to the end of September and that it's officially the 1st day of Fall!
After 10 days off Kyle is headed back to work today, now don't get me wrong we have loved having the family time together but I think we were both ready. We both thrive on routine and we need to figure out our new normal, when units are here training he works from 6am-10pm (sometimes later) for 3 weeks out of the month so it will be interesting navigating this for the first few weeks. A routine is going to be a must especially with Kyle and I both starting classes soon (well class for him since he is only 1 away from graduating with his Masters).
Today also marks 3 weeks of life for E! How is she already 3 weeks old?! We received her SSN and now we are just waiting on her birth certificate. She is such an easygoing baby, she loves to eat, she loves to sleep, and she loves to be cuddled. I know it could change but since we brought her home she sleeps 4-5 hour stretches at night and believe me I'm not about to wake a sleeping baby. She is a happy girl and we love seeing her look around and take everything in. She makes it easy when I need to get stuff done around the house, she doesn't need to be held all the time and will happily hang out in her bassinet. She has brought so much joy into our lives and we couldn't be more grateful. I mean how could this face not make you smile. We are so happy that we get to be her parents.
I bit the bullet earlier this week and cut my hair, it was to the point where all I wanted to do was put it in a ponytail and it was driving me crazy. I am so happy with how it turned out, the color I chose matches my natural color that my sister had pointed out when she was curling my hair one day. I am so glad I listened to her! :)
Our weather here in Louisiana is starting to cool down and I am so ridiculously happy! I am not a summer person at all and seeing the temps go down each week is glorious. It makes me happy for all things fall, I am ready to break out the boots haha. Even though we likely still have a few more weeks of 80 degree temperatures with ridiculous humidity, I'll survive.
I hope you all are having a great Thursday!
E is just precious! It is wonderful that she sleeps that much! I love your hair! I dye mine close to my natural color as well. I wish it were in the 80's here though...so jealous!
ReplyDeleteThe newborn phase is always my favorite. Eat, sleep, throw me a smile, eat, sleep. Or at least all four of mine were like that. I mean not sleeping four hours at night, that is glorious! But I always loved that one on one time with them :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the hair. I'm excited for a cut this weekend.
ReplyDeleteRoutines are a must to maintain sanity. It'll be good for you all.
I'm ready for fall too! Our temps seem to slowly be going down as well. I'm excited to experience fall. I'm glad things are going well with the baby and parenthood.
ReplyDeleteAh she's so cute. Can't believe it just feels like yesterday you had her!!
ReplyDeleteSweet Emersyn indeed! Life will be different now but that's a good thing!! Our weather is somewhat cooler now in Oregon especially in the a.m. Last night there were thunderstorms around. We walked expecting rain but didn't happen. Take care pretty mama!
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful that she's so easy going. All four of mine were too!! I am glad because my granddaugther, though I love her so, was/is not easy. Love the pic of your little sweet baby girl. :)
ReplyDeleteThat hair color is great on you! I think the color you're born with tends to look best on most people.
ReplyDeleteE is a doll!
Yay for Kyle being so close to graduating! (And you too!) You have definitely won the baby lottery with sweet Emersyn!
ReplyDeleteWeather is cooling down for SC too. First day of true fall felt like autumn. Can't we just have eternal autumn?
ReplyDeleteI love your new cut! It's so cute. I need to cut mine soon, I keep leaning back in chairs on it and I am this close to just chopping the whole ponytail off myself! :P
ReplyDeleteShe sounds like a dream baby! Long may it continue. Love the new hair, it definitely suits you. Hope getting back into a routine goes smoothly!
ReplyDeleteLove the haircut!!
ReplyDeleteShe's just too cute for words! I'm glad she's allowing you to get decent chunks of time to yourself!! Love the new hairstyle! Looking super glam!!
ReplyDeleteI love your new hairstyle and the color is so flattering!
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks awesome! Time flies with babies... they aren't little for long! Happy Weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love the newborn phase when they are so cute and cuddly. It sounds like she is a great baby!
ReplyDeleteLove your haircut! I can't believe that sweet baby is already 3 weeks old! It goes by so fast mama!
ReplyDeleteLove the hair! Can't believe E is almost a month old already!
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with you when it comes to cooler temps. We do cheers around here when we see that the high temperatures are going to dip down. ;) #solame hahaha Love your hair by the way! Hope you're adjusting well and loving life as a mama! The first few weeks can be a doozy and are often all about survival, but I'm sure you are doing wonderfully!
ReplyDeleteI am SO happy that she is such an easy baby! It definitely makes life easier for mama! Especially if Kyle is working long days!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet girl letting you get some longer stretches of sleep right off that bat! She is darling. And you are looking great, momma! That haircut suits you.
ReplyDeleteIt's crazy that she's almost a month old!
