3 months since my last post... Time to get on the stick! Things are low key around here. I am working casual at Mt Carmel St Anns NICU, about 20 hrs/week. Just enough to keep my hands in the mix. I have the world's best babysitter, she is like a grandmother to Ben and keeps the house looking better than when I left it. I was so lucky to find her. She just loves Ben and isnt running for the door when I get home, so far.
Ben is officially 10 months old. He still has no teeth, which is fine with me since I am still nursing. He is cruising, standing on his own and we're waiting any minute for him to take some steps. He is really learning how his toys work which is neat to watch as opposed to just eating them! His laugh and smile are the best part of everyday. He graduated from swimming lessons in December and had a great time being dunked by his dad.
I've been having a good time with my mom's club meetup group. We have a great booknite once/month and just went to the local science museum with the kids last week. They are a great group of girls, very down to earth. I am still missing living in PA. But the pain of it all lessens as time goes on. One thing about moving home after 10 years was how it made all of my relationships change and grow. I became closer with my sister who I had virtually no relationship with before. Despite the miles between my 2 best friends and I that lived there, we have always been close. But after embarking on the trip to motherhood, our friendship reached a new level of closeness. I miss seeing them weekly. I still talk to my mom all the time and we always make a plan of when we will see each other next and makes leaving a little bit easier.
Tony is working like crazy as usual, but hasnt been traveling too much. We are going to Disney and Tampa next month for a conference for Tony's work. Looking forward to seeing the Gruber family!
