2 mOnThS aLrEaDy!!!!!!

So my little lady is already 2 months old! I can't believe it!!! We had her 2 months check up today and she weighs 9.6lbs...almost double her birth weight!!! I think the coolest thing about being a parent has been watching her grow... I love that I'm the only one who can tell you what each cry means... and I know what makes her smile, when she's tired... how she likes to be held.. all her little things that make her Calley Bryn. We could not be happier parents, and can not wait to see her grow even more! Here are a few new pictures of Calley that were takin' this past weekend... (*including the first smiling picture)

Career Mom vs. The Stay-at-home-Mom

So the past few weeks my biggest debate has been whether to return to work or stay at home with baby Calley... This is a HUGE debate around our house, my husband would LOVE for me to stay at home and watch her...(*I would love that too) but I think of our finances..I don't want to be eating roman noodles for the next few years.. I know I'm not the only woman that feels this confusion after having a child, but all I keep saying in my head is damn 1972 when women got equal rights in the workplace...hahaha... my PROS are that I have worked really hard the past 4 years to get to where I am today in my career, and that financially we are comfortable, and are hoping to buy a home soon, I want to make sure we can provide for our family without struggle... but the other side (*the CONS) say I don't want anyone else taking care of her... no one can care for her like her momma!! And also I think about her getting sick at a daycare... how often will it happen? and will I have enough time to spend with her once I go back to work... I know what we are going to do and that is I will return to work, but I can't help think of "what if I stay home" I cry every time I think about it... and I know that my life at work is going to change I'm not going to be as available as I used to be...but we will see, I will update you all after my first week back... in the mean time here are some new pics of the precious little one!!!
