three months ago...i was not a mom. i had no idea how my life would change and the amazing, pure joy Isaac would bring into my world. Now, I'm not only a mom...I'm a working mom. I don't seem together enough to be a working mom. I don't look like a working mom. I don't feel like a working mom. Identity crisis!! Ever since I went back to work last week, things have been pretty crazy. First of all, I'm totally having separation anxiety, whereas Isaac's been fine. I want to think he pines for me all day, but I know the truth. He is very happy and content with his new friends and my milk in a bottle. I'm proud he's made such a smooth transition. Now it's my turn. I admit, it's been pretty stressful so far. I've always been one to need a lot of sleep in order to function well and not let things get to me. So, with the lack of sleep plus a combination of returning to work, speaking Spanish all day causing severe brain fry, being on my feet all day long, washing 3 times as many bottles a day as before, plus dinners, dishes, laundry, cleaning house, errands, exercise attempts, and thank you notes...I had a slight (extreme) breakdown last night. Keith of course took it in stride, at least it looked like he did. Although, he did tell me this morning he wanted to drink a Scotch. (he assures me i had nothing to do with that desire. thanks honey, but i'm not sure i believe you.) the most difficult part about this new chapter in my life is saying goodbye to my little cutie every morning. I mean, look at how adorable he is!! I suppose we will all adjust soon enough.
Okay...here is the 3 month birthday video.

great video of my sweet, little cousin! (was that the scotch bottle i heard clinking in the background? hee-hee)
give yourself grace and some time to get adjusted to it all. i will pray that the Lord gives you peace and wisdom as you decide what things you need to do and what things need to just go to the wayside for a time.
i look forward to meeting him myself someday soon! i love you stephanie!
Hang in there! It is so hard, trust me, I know. But, it does get easier. Rotisserie chicken is good, a little dust never hurt anybody, exercise can wait (you look fab anyways), buy more bottles and let the dishwasher do some washing for you, take some time to fall asleep on the couch with the 2 men in your life! Love to you!!!
