The Final Countdown...

As of tomorrow, I will have 2 weeks left of maternity leave. The thought of this makes me sick to my stomach. I just don't understand why I can't be rich and able to afford to have someone come in and cook and clean for me, so that I could stay home and spend every second with my little man. Although I know that isn't reality, it sounds good, and I know that Adler going to Grandma's for a couple days a week and me getting out and working (making some money) won't hurt either one of us, except maybe me for the first couple days. I have already forewarned Jared that there will be emotions that come with this transition, but that I would try to keep them to a minimum.
The anticipation of Adler's 2 month check-up was not quite as bad as I had thought. Adler took it pretty well, he cried for a little while and then was "ok." That evening wasn't too bad, and the next day wasn't really either he just needed a little TLC. As for me, well I got a little teary eyed when they did it, but held it together. I am thankful that Jared could go with us, he was comforting to both of us. I only embarrassed him once by spilling the Tylenol that I was trying to give to Adler, all over both of them!
Yesterday was Adler's first time to sleep in his crib. I put him in there for his afternoon nap, he never knew anything had changed. He is such a good baby, I couldn't ask for him to be any better, he doesn't mind change at all. He just goes with the flow.
We have a new friend, its called a "wubbanub" it is a horse that is attached to his pacifier so that he has something to hold onto, and at the same time it helps keep the pacifier in his mouth. He loves it!
Halloween is this weekend! Adler is going to be a pumpkin. Mom, Sadie, and I took him the other day and took some pictures of him in his little outfit and we hope to get a few more this weekend. I have to say, he is the cutest little pumpkin I have ever seen (so maybe I am a little partial!). Not sure that we will take him to every one's house, but will definitely be at mom and dad's house to see all the little ghosts and goblins that come trick or treating. I wish you all a Safe & Happy Halloween!
