Where did the time go?

Yesterday my beautiful baby girl turned 9 months old! I can't even believe it! So we just moved into a new house and I've been decorating and being slightly sentimental about Paisley,and I found this in one of the boxes I unpacked!

I made this when she was about 3 months old. It was pretty simple to do, I just bought a shadowbox on sale at Hobby Lobby and put scrapbook paper on the back. Then I hot glued all of her hospital stuff in there. Her preemie onesie she came home in,the socks her aunt bought her,the little bow she wore home,and her hospital bracelet. I love having it hang on the wall beside her hospital picture.

This is Paisley at 3 months old with her coming home outfit! I love my little princess!

6 weeks 6 days 6 hours and 16 minutes

That's how old my baby girl is as I sit down to right this. This time 7 weeks ago I had just gotten settles into the hospital,got my IV out in and started my induction. I was terrified and excited, I had no idea what I was going to do with this sweet baby. The next day when I was handed my 5 lbs 5 oz angel I had no idea why I was trusted with such a tiny,perfect person. I didn't know how I would be able to take care of her once I got home. Almost 7 weeks later I don't know what I did before her. Waking up every morning to her sweet little cooing and those big blue eyes is more than I could ever have dreamed of. The past 7 weeks have been incredible. I've been able to spend every minute with her just relaxing and bonding. On Wednesday I start work again though. I don't know how I'm going to do it. My job is just a part time 5 hours a day job but I can't imagine leaving her for 5 hours. Every time I think of it I tear up. I wish I was able to be a stay at home mom but right now it just isn't possible. I'm not sure how my first week back is going to go but at least Paisley will stay with her daddy most of the time and then my mom is going to watch her the last 2 hours of the day. I'm pretty excited that they will get the chance to bond with her as well.Her daddy is so good with her :) I love seeing them together and I know he is thrilled to be able to have some one on one daddy/daughter bonding time. I am incredibly blessed to have my amazing family!
