An End and A Beginning

Today our little frog is TWELVE weeks old. Twelve! So hard to believe. It's crazy how fast time has passed and equally crazy to think that only twelve short weeks ago (and about 14 hours) Aiden was still hanging out in my tummy. Oh how life has changed in such a short time period. Here is our little man 12 weeks ago and today. He's really filled out and his hair has some nice shag to it! :)


Twelve weeks also means back to work. It's a bit bittersweet. The end of my time as a stay at home mom (that's what I'm calling my maternity leave), and the beginning of my time as a working mom. Luckily I love my job and the people there so I don't dread going back...it's just hard to imagine my new normal right now.
Currently my biggest concern about returning to work is if I will have enough food to eat throughout the day. Hah. The whole nursing a baby thing has upped my appetite, and right now I just wander into the kitchen and find something to munch on when I get hungry. I'm not quite sure how much food to pack so I may end up wandering cubes tomorrow to collect whatever crumbs people will offer.
Aiden will be in the fabulous hands of my dear friend Christi until the end of the summer, and A just loves her and her kiddos. Makes me smile every time I see them together.
Pretty sure all signs point to it being time to go back, including my phone. I have successfully managed to fill it with pictures and videos of Mr. A over the last twelve weeks....and I mean literally when I say fill. I have to delete a photo now every time I want to take a new one.
Oh Aiden. I was never the girl who dreamed of being a mom, but this little man has rocked my world.
