My Big News...

is that I am taking a leave of absence from work for April and May!!! I will return to finish up the year in June (just 8 days I think) and then it will be time for summer break!!!! This will keep us from having to worry about childcare for Gabriel until August when he will be 7 months old. Plus, I honestly can say that I just want to be home with him desperately! The thought of leaving him for 8-9 hours a day, 5 days a week right now just makes me feel sick. I never really knew before how someone feels about their child, it has really just changed my whole outlook, my schedule, my priorities...it has changed my whole LIFE! Thanks to my hubby Cedric for being so supportive of me for wanting to take these additional 2 months off from work. I feel bad for him because he works such long hours while I am here at home enjoying our sweet baby boy.

What else is going on??

I did get my hair cut really short and I LOVE it....I don't know why every so often I feel the need to try and grow it out...I think I am just supposed to be a short-hair person! I just get bored with it and am always feeling the urge for change.

Gabriel is smiling now at people on a regular basis...I think it is the most beautiful sight I have ever seen...That boy has got everyone he comes into contact with wrapped around his little fingers!

Cedric and I are getting out alone this Saturday night...we are going to my cousin's house to watch the UNC/Duke game with the Lake Norman Carolina Club. GO HEELS!!!! Mom is babysitting baby G for us.

The countdown to my 30th birthday is on...I can't believe I am that old!!!! I don't think I have ever dreaded a birthday before. March 28th, take your time in getting here, I want to savor these last few weeks of my 20s! On the bright side of things, Nicole and Zach are throwing me a 30th birthday bash at their new house on April 5th...I will be at Myrtle Beach with Gabriel and Ceddy on my actual birthday!

Take care and have a great rest of the week!

Enjoy! I always said that it just has to be horrible to leave an itty bitty at daycare for so long.... I am lucky to have been able to be home with Ben and Hannah. I wish I had more time with Sophie, but she just loves going to "school" and seeing all her buds. I think she would find me very boring all day long....but that is an almost two year old for ya!

Hope to see you good friday!

I am so glad you will be able to spend time with your little man. I hear you on trying to grow your hair out, I am trying to do the same, only to cut it. We are twins, weddings and birthdays around the same days! I miss you girl!!
