Zeland is doing fantastic! He is getting so big already I can't believe it! He is starting to hold his head up and look around. He really seems to respond to Andrew and I when we talk to him he even smiles at us...which I choose to believe that he is actually smiling and its not just that he has gas! I haven't been blogging much as I have been spending a lot of time in cottonwood with my parents and just find myself very busy taking care of Zeland who insists on being held most of the time. Nicole made me a baby sling and it has really been a life saver. I can hold Zeland and get things done around the house too.

Zeland is sleeping pretty well. He sleeps from about 12-5am which is fantastic. My only complaint is from about 9-12am he likes to party! He isn't mad or crying he just likes to hang out. I however would love to be sleeping at this time but what can you do?! I am hoping that this will pass and little Z will get better at sleeping.

I have decided to go back to work. I have struggled with this decision since finding out I was pregnant. I would love to stay home with my boys but financially it seems impossible. On the flip side though daycare is outrageously expensive. So I am just going to see how it works out. We are checking into a few daycare places by our house. Had I not procrastination the whole situation I would have had a daycare lined up already but I am not that organized so we have less then three weeks to find daycare!!! Wish me luck!

Yay!!! I love baby smiles! Rora first smiled at about a month old, so I'm with you that he's really just a happy baby. I wish I could hold him!

Best of luck finding affordable childcare near your house. I'm looking forward to going back to work, just because it's hard to spend EVERY day at home with a baby. You seem to have a great supportive workplace, and I think that's important for your sanity.

I'm so sorry you have to go back to work so soon. Unfortunately, most mothers have to work today. I know it was a hard decision to make. I will be sending positive energy your way to help you find a good daycare situation. Nancy
