Good news

I'm currently sitting at the dealership waiting on my car to be fixed... there was a recall but don't worry it is nothing like Toyota! We had a good weekend in many ways. I received a call on Saturday morning from my old manager at University of Phoenix offering me a new position so I will be going back to work this coming Monday! It was such a relief knowing that I had a job to go back to/start again. I was trying not to worry about it and just kept hoping everything would work out and it did. It actually worked out perfectly because I will be working the 8-5:15 shift which is perfect for daycare. Isla can't start daycare until she is 8 weeks old so my sister is kindly sacrificing her spring break to hang out with Isla during my first week back. Then she will start daycare on the 22nd. I'm a little nervous/worried but I have been assured that she will do just fine.

Josh's dad also came down to visit this past weekend. We hung out and had pizza on Saturday night and he and Josh did some outside errands on Sunday. Due to a hail storm last summer we are putting on a new roof and with that we are getting new garage doors and siding! It's a lot to do and will probably take most of the summer but will be a big improvement to the house.

So far this week I have spent my time trying to take care of all the little things before I go back to work (such as getting my car fixed). I've become slightly obsessed with trying to organize things to hopefully make life a little easier with both of us working full time again. I'm open to suggestions! Here are some new pictures below and we hope everyone is having a good week so far!

Isla;s favorite thing to do...playing on her play mat

Isla's first Doctor's Appointment

Isla had her 1 month check up yesterday and I am happy to report she is doing well and she did fantastic during the appointment. She even gave the Doctor a little smile! She now weighs 8 pounds and 10 ounces, she is 20 inches long and her head circumference is 14.5 inches. That puts her in the 25th percentile for weight, the 50th percentile for her head and only the 10th percentile for her height! She isn't very tall yet but I hope she will be taller than me when she is older. Her 2 month check up is scheduled at the beginning of April. She will get he shots that day and I'm told that is not a pleasant appointment but it has to be done. I also had my 6 week check up today and I recovered just fine and for the first time since I found out I was pregnant with Isla, I have no limitations (medically) on anything. There were so many things I was told not to do during the pregnancy that it feels great to know that I can do whatever I want now.

Weekend Visit with Nannie and Aunt Gina

This past weekend Josh's mom (Nannie) and his Aunt Gina came to visit. They got here Friday afternoon and we ordered pizza, drank some wine and watched Couples Retreat and went to bed. Saturday morning Josh had lodge and when he got home we decided to go out for a late lunch at Jack Stack and then we headed over to Town Center to do a little shopping. Thanks to Nannie for Isla's super cute sunglasses... She will by styling this summer. Gina went home on Saturday night and Nannie, Josh and I just took some time to visit. Josh made some breakfast Sunday morning and Nannie headed out around noon. We enjoyed the visit and look forward to the next one! The picture above is one the Josh's mom took and we just love it!
