Emmett is now just over three weeks old. To think this is when he was due. He is doing great! He had his 2 week well baby last Friday. He was 6lbs 12oz. He had gained almost 2lbs in 15 days. The boy is an excellent eater!I love staying home with him. I am very disappointed I have to go back to work. Don't get me wrong, I love my teaching job, but I love being a mom more. However, it's just not in the cards to stay at home right now. Eric and I have met with some people who provide daycare in their homes. We found a lady we like and have made arrangements with her. So, at least we have that taken care of. I was worried about finding someone we trusted and could afford. One prayer answered. I am already dreading leaving him.
My dad and brother, Scott, are supposed to fly in on Friday to meet baby Emmett. We are praying that this huge storm moving across the country doesn't keep them from flying Friday morning. So everyone send one up that the weather cooperates. We will all be very disappointed if they can't make it.
Well, that's our happenings for now. Emmett and I will be tackling some holiday baking this week as well as some cleaning. At least that's the plan...we'll see. Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season.

Allison - will be praying for you when you have to go back to work. It is so hard to leave those little ones! My first day back to work after Elyse was born, I was listening to the radio and they happened to be talking about praying for your kids while they are away from you - I completely lost it on the way to work!!! Thankfully each day gets easier. Then they get older and cry when you have to go to work and won't be home when they get off the bus - not sure what's worse?
