Two month and growing!

She's getting so big.  At her 2 month visit she was 11 pounds 12 ounces, and 23.5 inches long!  She's in the 75% in weight, and 88% in length.  She's growing so much!  She got her first big set of shots and did really well.  She of course cried, but thankfully she wasn't grumpy afterwards, and really just slept more.  She's such a sweet baby.  My favorite part of the day is coming into her room when she wakes up and seeing this huge grin on her face.  It just makes my day.  She's so funny.  She loves to stretch and kick.  I've never seen an infant just want to stretch as much as she does.  Hannah actually now LOVES her bath.  She loves to kick the water.  She likes to try and push herself off from the side of her little infant tub.  She thinks it's so funny.  She's such a happy little baby, and she's always smiling.  We were so blessed with such an easy baby.  I can't believe how she changed so much in two months.  We tried tummy time, and she feel asleep.   Silly Girl!!

I really enjoyed my maternity leave.  It was so wonderful to spend all day with her every day.  I never knew I could love something so much.  She is so much a part of our lives, I have no idea how I survived without her!  It's so amazing to think that God loves her even more than I ever could.  As a parent, you really don't think anyone could love your child anymore than you could, but amazingly enough God does.

On August 8th I returned to work. :(  I had such a tough time with it.  I love my job, and I missed being there, but I love being a mom.   The first day Ron and I dropped her off at daycare I cried so much.  I actually cried getting her things together on Sunday evening, on the way to the daycare, at the daycare, and on my way to work.  My mom called me to see how I was doing, and I cried with her on the phone.  I got to work, and cried there.  It's funny looking back on it, but I had a really rough time.  Things are a little easier, I don't cry anymore, but I still miss her so much when I'm not with her.  She goes to daycare three times a week, and Linda, my mother-in-law, watches her two days a week.  It's such a blessing that Linda watches her.  The women at daycare are wonderful, and I know she's being taken care of all week when I'm not there, but I miss her so much.

So many people have told me and I'm also learning for myself, that you feel guilty about everything.  It comes with the territory.  You worry about every decision because it doesn't just affect you, it's affects at least two other people.  I think most women in general worry too much.  In Philippians 4, there is a verse that God continues to teach me:  "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything with thanksgiving present your requests to the Lord, and the peace of the Lord, which transcends all understanding, will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus."  God doesn't want us to worry.  In Jeremiah He tells us He has a plan for each and everyone of us.  A plan to prosper us, and to give us a future. So as a mother, a wife, and as a person I am trusting Him, and I know He will be with us no matter what.  We have been blessed with such an amazing life to take care of, and I look forward to see what He has planned.

Mid August, Ron, Hannah, and I went to Idewild with Nana and Pap pap, Aunt Christina, Aunt Kristin, and cousins Ellia, Magerie, and Garrett.  We had so much fun.  Uncle Ron had so much fun hanging out with the kids.  We finally got that smile on film :)

At the end of August, Mommy and Daddy turned 29!  Crazy.  Celebrating our last year in our twenties.  My birthday is August 23 and Ron's birthday is the 26th.  We celebrated by going out to dinner with my family and headed back to our house for cake and ice cream one week and the next week we went out to dinner with Grandpa and Grandma Guentner.  I have to get better at taking more pictures.  I promise will do better!
