I can't believe how fast Levi is growing! I figured I better start a blog so I can keep track of how much he is changing. Today he had his two month doctor's appointment. He weighed in at 11 pounds 12 ounces (50th percentile), and is 24 inches long(90th percentile)! Of course a shortie like me would have such a tall baby! The past couple of weeks have been so fun with Levi. He is becoming more and more alert and is awake for longer periods of time. He smiles and makes wonderful noises all day long. He is rarely fussy and still likes to sleep a lot. On Sunday night Levi slept through the night for the first time! He sleeps from about 10 p.m. to 5 or 5:3o a.m. I can tell that Levi will have brown eyes. They are starting to change from the dark bluish color they were at birth and are turning brown.
As for Jordan and me, we are also experiencing a lot of changes in our lives! Jordan got a new job which is in Baltimore. He is currently in Pittsburgh getting some training, and I miss him so much! We are thanking God that he got this job and just at the right time! Our lease to our apartment is up in May, so we are scurrying to try and buy a house before the tax credit ends April 30th. Aaaaahhh! It is exciting but scary at the same time.
As for me, I am still on maternity leave. It seems like a lifetime ago that I was in a classroom with 23 first graders. My job was such a big part of my life. Now it is no part of my life. Levi is my whole life. I miss teaching and I miss my students, but it is hard to imagine going back to work. I feel such a bond with Levi and don't know if I can leave him. My first day back at work is supposed to be April 30th, so I would only have about two months left of the school year to finish. With moving and trying to find childcare for Levi, it just doesn't seem worth it to go back though. I am trying to find something that I can do at home for work. This is a big decision for me whether to finish off the school year or not, and I am still praying and thinking about it.
It seems like so much is changing at once, and we are going through it with mixed emotions. We are praising God and excited, but also sad for the friends we are moving away from and nervous for all of the big decisions we have to make. When it rains, it pours -right? ;)
I'm so glad you started this, Sarah! And at the beginning of your sweet boy's life! I don't have many of these moments captured from the beginning of my kids' lives. So glad to hear about Jordan's job...will be praying for you guys about a house and your job! Love you lots!
