Fastest 12 weeks

This was the fastest twelve weeks ever, well almost. It was just as fast as it was with Greta. I loved every minute of it... Even those ones where I thought I was going crazy or that I might lose it or realized that I enjoyed arguing with a 2 year old.

I feel very blessed to have gotten to spend this time at home with both Greta and Lola. Even though at first I thought I made the wrong decision pulling Greta out of daycare, I realized it was the best decision ever. It took some adjustment, but we made it and survived. She's such a determined, stubborn, sweet, silly girl that these past 12 weeks would have been boring and maybe little relaxing ( lol) without her here. 

And God blessed us with another good sleeper so that's made the last weeks even more enjoyable. Lola is just a joy to have around - smiley pants is what I've nicknamed her as she's always smiling, well except when she's hungry. 

Trips to the zoo, the petting farm, tumbling class, lunches out, shopping and more! We don't do everything I wanted and I didn't get all the things done at home I wanted but I've come to accept that and that its okay. 

A whirl wind of emotions are going through me right now as I get ready to go back to work tomorrow. Sadness because I'm not ready to leave Lola yet. Guilt because I do miss work - just a little. Madness because you aren't given more time off after you have a baby like other countries. Happiness because I got to spend 12 weeks with Greta (humor as I realize I have created a mini-me). Joy as I have 2 healthy children. 

It's never easy but I pray it will okay. And thankful for some vacation time so I only have to work 4 days a week until the end of the year!
