Kelly Smith never knew it would be this hard but I'm back to work. I couldn't have done it without the support of my husband.

back to reality

Tomorrow i begin going back to work.. for the first month back i will only be working 2-3 days a week ... tonight i have so many emotions running through me... i am of course devestated and heartbroken that tomorrow i will begin being away from my baby for 7-8 hours at a time... but i am also excited for my mom to enjoy ollie's company and begin making memories like the ones i have with the grandma that took care of me when i was little... i am also so proud of our little family for getting to this point with all the changes that have consumed us the past 2 months... i am also excited to have a focus and another purpose in my life as i do really love what i do.. i am also excited for some adult conversations.. to rebuild and reconnect with work friends and to get out of the house... but all the positive things about going back to work just dont matter tonight... tonight i am heartbroken!!!

the good thing about tonite is that daniel is being super sweet, supportive and we are having a great night at home.. exactly what i need before my rough day tomorrow...

i will try to post tomorrow and let everyone know how it goes... we do have a busy weekend though... besides me working i convinced daniel that he shoud go to NC and spend the night gambling in Cherokee.. i thought this would be so fun for him.... i will be spending the night with danielle since paul is going too... i think we will have a equally fun girls night as we usually do... then i work sunday and think daniel will plan a lovely dinner with me when i get off since i let him go gamble.. haha... wishful thinking...

ok im out... wish me lots of luck!!!

Kelly Smith babies, a sunny walk, mimosa's, keno and a good friend make for a perfect day!

2 months

So i havent done as well as a job as i thought i would getting back into blogging... so here is yet another go at it!!

oliver turned 2 months old and daniel and i discussed what an amazing 2 months it has been... we are so blessed and so happy and really are enjoying our new life... oliver is sleeping alot during the night and in his crib.... he is also smiling now.. he smiles when we smile at him or when we talk or sing to him... getting a smile out of him is the most rewarding thing i have ever experienced... he is beginning to make "cooing" noises which are so cute.....he is doing great holding his head up and is just getting so big... we went to the doctor yesterday for his 2 month checkup and he had to get his first set of immunizations... i think the shots were harder on us than oliver.. i am so lucky that daniel was able to be there and take care of us... ollie did so good.. and so did his nurse... she got those needles in soo fast... she held one in her mouth while she shot him with another and then stabbed the shot she gave him in the exam table and did the other... wow!! ollie screamed and turned bright red but he calmed down quickly which made me calm down quickly..he was in pain and i think had a low grade fever the rest of the evening but we gave him some tylenol and lots of TLC and today he seems fine (well until i ripped the bandaids off.. lol)

i recently took some 2 month pics of ollie and i will get them up on facebook here in the next few days.. i think most people that read my blog know me on facebook so that will be the only place i post pics... to much work on blogger... haha

i go back to work part time on saturday... i am looking foward to it but then i am also not looking foward to it... i cant imagine being away from Ollie but i am ready for life to get back to normal... and we need some money!

speaking of normal life.. looks like we are moving again.. not far at all... we are going to move upstairs to my mom's house... right now we live in an in law suite in the basement... i love our basement apartment... its a full daylight basement.. we have had our own driveway, garage, enterance to the backyard, 2 bedroom, full kitchen, laundry room and bathroom... but the square footage is a bit small for what we need (want) with ollie... so we are getting some more work done to the basement... there is an unfinished part that we used for ping pong and games during parties... now that part is becoming a bigger living room for my mom and an office... there will still be an unfinsihed part for storage.. we are also adding a foyer enterance from the driveway.. its going to be even nicer.. i am a little jealous! the work should be done by march so thats when we will move.. i am excited to move upstairs and i think i have THE MOST awesome mom for doing this for us.. she is another huge blessing that we are so thankful for..

not much is going on.... we are planning a spring vacation with the Connor's to myrtle beach and charleston that i am very excited about... we are going to myrtle beach for a freiends wedding and we are also going to get family pics on the beach.. we also will be going to our favorite place croc rocks and getting a babysitter to have a night out.. then in charleston i cannot wait to see our friends and enjoy some quality time there..

i guess that is all i am going to post about today.. Ollie is hungry and i want to get out and go on a walk since its such a nice day.
