A busy last week of maternity leave...

As some of you may read I said in an earlier post we were going to attempt to make it to the parade and we did!! YAY! It was pretty fun...Linnea seemed to enjoy the fresh air and different sounds during the parade. The fire engine may have been too loud but those bagpipes were nice! We made it to our last new parent group afterwards as well, then went to my parents house where we caught up with an old friend, then made it home for dinner and American Idol! What a busy day!

Wednesday was also busy because I finally brought her to meet the kindergartners I work with and we went to church in the evening with the Henjum grandparents. The kindergartners were all very well behaved and gentle with the little peanut who stayed awake for them and looked curiously around. She even threw some smiles in! The kiddoes asked what Linnea ate, if she cried and if she slept well. The kids thought I looked very different and the teachers thought Linnea looked mighty different than the beginning of February when they saw her at my shower!

I think she does too....probably because she is now 3 months and one week...she is 13 weeks old today. The picture below shows she is much bigger than that elephant now! I can't believe I was in labor that long ago...time is going by quickly. Tomorrow I go back to work and Linnea gets to meet some new providers and playmates. It will be hard but I know the days will go by fast. I am just going to focus on how happy we will be both be to see each other around 2:15! I will drop her off around 7 so our days will begin at 5! Which sometimes they have over break, but we usually go back to bed around 6:30! Not anymore, but such is life.

This picture below is of our attempt to go to Mommy and Me Yoga...I say attempt because similar to when we went to infant massage, Linnea made it through about 10-15 minutes and then put on quite the show with her screams so we ended up feeding for most of the class. But I got to watch and get some ideas of what we can do at home.

I just love this picture below so I thought I would post it. She is cuddling with her Easter Bunny. Linnea is trying to grab things these days and she is also really enjoying eating her hands!! The drool is coming as well so she may be doing some early teething!

So it may not be football season anymore, but if I didnt put this outfit on her now she may never get to wear it. Speaking of sports seasons, we have been watching some of the basketball games and we did a bracket but what we are very excited for is baseball. We did our fantasy baseball draft last night online which was lots of fun. Chris and I are both happy with our picks! Grandma Henjum watched Linnea while we drafted.

Linnea spent lots of time with Grandma H yesterday since her and I visited Great Grandma for an hour or so and gma H was there, then we went to the thrift store together and then on a walk!! Linnea got to spend Friday night with the Henjum grandparents and Great Aunt Julie and Great Uncle Bob so mommy and daddy could have a game night with friends.

What a wonderful way to end maternity leave. Wish us luck tomorrow!
