Ridiculously Overwhelming

Life around the Head house has been ridiculously overwhelming lately. With doctors appointments, graduations and my return to work... there hasn't been one moment to sit still and breathe.

Last weekend Bryan and I drove down to Waco to meet the Vicks. Katie and Travis had Caroline a month after E was born and will be E's godparents. I could not have chosen a better couple to be an example of Christ to my sweet son. They radiate God's love and grace in all they do. We, of course had to eat at Ninfas (my favorite) and had a great time with all 3 kiddos.







We had our 2 month checkup and are FINALLY on the charts... only in the 2% still... but gaining enough weight to be visable on the pediatric charts. He was born at 4 lbs and is not 9 lbs 4 oz! AMAZING! And i think it might all be head..



E's doctors suggested we get his hips and eyes checked out. He wanted to check his hips for Hip Dysplasia due to him being breach and check his eyes for a lazy eye (since his mommmy has one!). Both appointments went off without a hitch and he is just fine. But toting around a 2 month old to TWO specialist in ONE day is NOT FUN!

Then Bryan and I got a chance for our first night out to celebrate.. well a little bit of everything- Ethan's birth, Bryan's promotion and our anniversary. We went to Fogo de Cho, our favorite steak restaurant, while mom and dad kept Ethan. I always suspected I would be that mom that would feel the need to call in and check on the baby- but that was not the case. I love my sweet boy, but it was nice to get away for a bit and relax with Bryan alone.


Returning to work has been more difficult that I suspected. St Luke's is being AMAZING about letting me be in the office only Wednesday and Fridays. As a youth minister I don't believe I should be in the office more than that much anyway as I need to be out with families and kiddos. This allows for a lot of time with Ethan which is a blessing. But my return this week reminded me how much there is to do at church- all the little bitty things that add up to hours of work. Then I look down at crying baby and think- HOW CAN I DO IT ALL! There have been many a night already that I have boohooed thinking about either failing my child, my husband or my job. But I know there are working moms all around the world that do this so I can to!

Overall I am simply in love with this little 2 month old, his wonderful daddy, and our blessed life. God is good amidst the chaos! ALWAYS
