Back to School!

Although I often have Reagan sleeping on my shoulder as I work on my computer at home, I am so thankful to have a beautiful, healthy daughter in my arms!  She is a joy and a blessing!

During my free periods now at school, I am pumping my boobs in a small office room downstairs, whereas I used to respond to colleague and parent emails and provide extra help to students.  It is a different world!

The transition to work was smoother than I thought it might be.  My back is hurting less caring a baby around all day, but as I say that,I wonder how my mom, Susan, is holding up with this 8-hour day baby-sitting job that I asked her to take on... and that I hope that my mother-in-law, Nancy, will take on in the upcoming week!   She claimed that she loves it, but I rush home from school/practice as soon as I can, because I KNOW what it feels like now to spend 8 hours a day with a baby... as a WONDERFUL I emphasize it can be and as STRESSFUL it can be at the same time.    I understand now!  But, I still love my baby girl!!!

Thanks to my Aunt Marsha for the crib mobile!  Reagan is ALMOST ready to start sleeping in the crib!  Arghhh!  Alrgready?1?! Special thanks to my brother-in-law, Ryan Haase, for also installing the crib monitor... wow, I did not believe that Reagan would already be sleeping in a "big girl crib" at just 3 months! 

Cheesehead!  So, David and I made a pact that neither of us (nor our family members) would be allowed to purchase Green Bay Packers or Chicago Bears fan gear this football season.  One of our friends already purchase a mini Cheesehead for Reagan... what can I do?!?!  Throw it away?!   Nah.....

Our good friend, Briginia, came to visit and bring a Halloween outfit that read, "I cast Daddy under my spell," and I promise there will be pictures to follow in late October... :)
