I don't know how working mothers do it. . . I started back to work about three weeks ago and I am really struggling. Where do you find the time to do it all? I get home and only have about 4 hours with Noah before I have to go to bed so I can do it all again the next day. It's frustrating me! And it makes me so sad that I don't get to spend more time with him. Thank goodness Jon is such a great dad and husband. Jon's the daytime dad and works at night while I work in the day and play the nighttime mom. It's a really hectic schedule where Jon and I don't see much of each other, but it's working out ok so far. Thank goodness for Marilynn too for her coming to watch Noah for the hour and a half each day between the times Jon and I are changing roles. She's been a lifesaver! I truly am just counting down and keeping my fingers crossed that it won't be much longer before I can finally go part-time or quit all together so I can stay at home with my son.Noah is growing so big. I can't believe that he's already 7 weeks old. He's growing so much. He's so much more alert now and you can tell he's starting to see things because he's always gawking around and getting over stimulated. We had some pictures taken at JCPenny the other day and they turned out so cute. As soon as I can get the computer back up and running, I'll scan and post the pictures.
My sister threw us the most amazing baby shower a couple weeks ago. Our friends and family truly spoiled us so much. She did this great thing where she asked everyone to bring a book and write on the inside a message to Noah instead of bringing a card. We got so many great books that are such a great addition to Noah's little library. We can't wait to start reading them to him. Can you see little Noah in his swing amidst all his new treasures? Speaking of which, our computer bit the dust. We've been fighting it for a couple of weeks now and finally, something went terribly wrong and now it won't work at all. They seem to think that somehow we fried the mother board or something else serious. What a joke! If it's not one thing, it's 47 other things that go wrong. Once again, thank the Crane's for borrowing us their laptop temporarily until we can figure out if we can fix ours or have to buy a new one.
We went up the canyon the other night to take pictures of my sister's family. They turned out really cute. It was such a beautiful drive. . . all the colors changing. We truly are blessed to live in such a beautiful world!
Well, I know it's been a while since we've posted and all this post does is gripe, so I'll leave it here and leave you with some of the newest pics of our angel baby! Noah!

Tomi,
Those pictures are so dang cute!!! Do you ever feel like you just can't get enough of him? Like you just want to hug him and kiss him all the time and take a million pictures to remember what he was like and how cute he was? LOL. Well, I do. I think every mother feels that way at some point. :) I love that idea for books in place of cards. How neat!
Hey Tomi, I know you feel. Since Axel was born I have always had to struggle with the fact that I wanted/needed to work, but I also wanted to be with my son all the time. I also always feel like I never have time to get anything done. It is hard until you realize that noone be a perfect mom, a perfect wife, a perfect employee all at the same time. So just relax and remember that 1- tomorrow is another day and 2- we all feel the same. There is a lot of pressure on moms to be super-moms, but just do what you can and remember your priority is the quality time you spend with your baby. He needs you more than anyone and anything. It is also important that you get to spend at least one hour a day just doing something nice or fun for yourself, so that you keep your sanity and keep being the great wife and mom you are! Good luck!
Tomi!!! Holy smokes. I found your blog...YEAH! What a beautiful baby and family!
