These pics are all from the past 3 three weeks. Most of them are from the past 2 weeks. Keely is 8 weeks old today. I cannot beleive she is already that old! I cannot believe summer is drawing to a close already either. I report back to work on Wednesday, and I am already planning to be dramatic the first day I have to leave Keely with my sister. Thank goodness for Carrie, though. I don't know what I would do without her! Nonetheless, I really don't want to leave my sweet girl. I cannot imagine my mornings without getting to watch her sleep and cuddling with her. So, I am naturally holding her all day long almost, thinking I should savor every last second with her. No one ever said I wasn't dramatic. Anyway, while I am looking forward to meeting all the new faces and getting to teach again, I am not looking forward to leaving Keely. It will be hard. So, say a prayer for me that I will do better than I suspect I will. Say a prayer for my sister because I'm not sure she knows what she's getting into. She'll have her 3 kids and my 1 kid until school starts and Ally reports to kindergarten. Two more things, and I'll draw to a close. First, Keely actually made it through bath time without a single cry! Last night marked the first time we didn't hear wailing and screaming while being bathed! We were both shocked! And, very, very proud. Last thing, we got the lab results from Keely's endocrinologist, and her thyroid medication is fulfilling it's duty. No need to up her dosage at this point--YAY! Have a fabulous week, all!

I'm so glad her medication is doing what it's supposed to! Also, I have to put my 2 cents in here just to give you a hard time...you may be holding her all day to "savor every second," but you're really doing her a disservice and will make it VERY hard on me because I won't be able to hold her all day and she's going to expect me to since that's what she's used to. Believe me, I understand where you are coming from and I get it, but Keely won't understand it and it could be extra hard on her in the beginning. That's all. I'm sure we'll survive and it will all be fine no matter what and I'm still excited to be keeping her! ;)

Okay. I exaggerated. I don't hold her ALL the time. Just a lot of it.
