I can't believe that summer is officially over for me and that I can't say I did a whole lot yet but I have had my life change so much. I never imagined having a baby would do this to someone. I never knew that in my heart I could love someone the way I do. Its officially here and Im not doing well. Today was the first day of school I have returned back to work and my heart is breaking. I am so greatful to have grandmas tending for most of the week and greatful for the other babysitter I know she will be great. I know so many people do this but I don't see how they do it....
McCrae is 8 weeks old TODAY and we go in for his checkup tomorrow. I am so afraid he isn't growing and I am constantly trying to weigh him. He is now out of his newborn clothes and wearing 0-3 finally-it seemed he wore the same 4 outfits over and over and over again! He first smiled at Grandma Becky when he was 5 weeks old and it was so amazing to see -- he is now smiling all the time you just can't get him to do it consistently. He loves his baths and I love that time too he is so relaxed when he is in the water its so cute. He loves his swing most of the time and he now watches the mobile above his head. He loves his binky and its a weird one I don't know what to do when we loose it, cause I have no idea what brand it is. It is so cute to see how much all his cousins love him -- I can't wait till they all play together. I love spending time with him and just watching him all the time and seeing how much he has changed. He still has tons of hair and most the time its out of control and I hope he doesn't loose it. We still sometimes struggle thru the nights sometimes one night he wakes up only once the next night he wakes up every couple hours, we are still both trying to adjust. No matter what, I still think he is the cutest baby ever and I love him so much. Tomorrow is the first day at the babysitters and Im hoping I can make it!
Who wouldn't wanna wake up to see that!
He reminds me of a little man
Fell asleep in the swing. Hes so precious!

Ahhh, he is getting so big and is of course still so super sweet.
So sad you have to go back to work, I am sure you will adjust (and don't worry, i'm sure he will too!)
Let me know if you ever need any help, Im always around. I would love to see you both again soon!
Oh, he is sssooo cute! Love the hair!!!
Oh my little Jaime, its gonna be ok... You are very STRONG and you can DO IT! I am so very proud of you and the mother you have become. I am so sorry and I know this is one of the hardest things you will ever have to do. Good Luck and Best Wishes for both you and McCrae, it'll be alright.....
Jaime-I feel your pain...leaving your baby with someone else is one of the hardest things to do, but their excitement when you come back is a huge reward...it might not happen right away but it will as he gets bigger. It all seems to work out and be ok....somehow! BTW- he is precious!!
I totally love that little man. You're a great mom Jaime! McCrae (and Greg for that matter) are so so lucky to have you. I'm lucky to have you close too. What a beautiful fam you have!
Oh my gosh I just love him, he seriously is so stinkin cute!! I'm sorry, that sucks its time for you to be back to work but you'll do great:)
Hey Jaime
McCrae us so stinking cute I can totally see how it would be hard to leave him. I love his head of hair. I went to work when Isaac was 12 weeks old and it was pretty tough at first, but after a while i came to enjoy a little time for myself. he'll be okay and you will too. It just takes some time.
My heart is breaking for you:( Nothing is harder than separating your little one from you. It isn't any easier when they are bigger! Well, ok maybe it is a little easier.. I'm only a text away for anything you need!!! Lets get together soon and can I say your little guy is adorable! You better have at least six more;)
Jaime, he is so dang cute. I'll bet that you have a ball with him.
Good luck with leaving him at the babysitters.
