Last Week of Maternity Leave = Bittersweet

Elizabeth is 10 weeks old today.  This is my last week off before returning to work on December 3rd.  I have very mixed feelings.  I'm looking forward to getting back to work (being a stay at home mom is hard!) but I know I will miss her so much.  I hate thinking about handing her off to people she doesn't know on Monday morning :(  She'll be going to a daycare right down the road that a lot of our friends have used. 

A lot has happened the past couple of weeks:

She had her 2 month birthday!  Her check up at the doctor was great.  She weighed 10lbs 4oz and is a very healthy, growing baby girl.  She is a skinny little thing in the 18 percentile for weight (50 for head and length) but she is following her growth curves perfectly.

 

She has become a very big helper around the house. Like helping with laundry and entertaining herself while I get some things done:




She also had her first roadtrip down to Augusta for Thanksgiving.  She finally got to meet a lot of her family that loves her so much including Big Papa.  She was great in the car and a trooper in the different environment.


She also had her first visit to Santa.  She was NOT happy about her Christmas dress:




Here's a few more pics from the last couple of weeks:
