12 Weeks!

I have officially made it through 2 weeks of work! Harper made it through her first week (2 days really) at daycare (or I did). Leaving her the first day was really hard - I started crying before I even got out the door. In my defense, it was because of the 2 mothers asking me, "Is today your first day? Is she your first? Oh, I cried for the first 2 weeks!" Thanks a lot. I was doing okay until you said that. I probably would have made it to the car at least! Oh well. Such is life. I did go on my lunch break and nurse her, so that made it easier. She may not be at this daycare much longer though! I am hoping that something better is going to come through.

Harper was 12 weeks old this past Thursday! She is so aware of everything around her, and it is amazing to see her grow and change everyday. She is on the verge of giggling. She is also almost on a schedule, praise Jesus! She is typically asleep between 10 and 11, and most of the time she will sleep all night! That is so great for me because I am getting up at 5 am. She also does this funny thing with her tongue - she plays with it and it looks like she is chewing gum. So cute!

I have learned a couple more things since becoming a mommy:
1. I now understand why my mom wouldn't let me listen to Madonna when I was 7 or Vanilla Ice (just to name a couple) when I was 12. She wanted me to have positive role models. Thank you, Mom.
2. I now understand why mom and dad didn't appreciate me listening to Guns'n'Roses, especially on Sunday morning. That's just funny. I listened to GNR.
3. And finally, I understand why mom didn't speak to me for a week when she found out I had gotten a tattoo. I wouldn't want Harper to put anything on that beautiful skin! If I could do it over again, I wouldn't.

I was folding clothes yesterday and I propped her up on the pillows on our bed. Justin walked in and thought it was funny. She was smiling at him - she loves her daddy. If he is talking and I am holding her, she will just stare at him and smile so big!
