Well, we dropped Jack off at the babysitters house today for a couple hours. It was a chance for Dawn (our sitter) to meet Jack, but even more so, a chance for mommy to adjust to what it's going to be like taking Jack to the sitter. I have dreaded taking him there and returning to work since before he was even born. I have cried off and on for the last 8 weeks knowing that this moment would come. Ryan went with me, to help occupy me after he was dropped off. I cried on the way there, but once I got there I was fine.
Choosing a sitter was hard for us. Especially in a town where we don't have that many references. We interviewed several different ones, and felt very comfortable with Dawn. She came recommended too. She is so friendly and sweet and really warmed up to Jack when she met him today. I felt very comfortable leaving Jack in her care. She even has a little boy of her own, so that made me feel good too.
I officially go back to work on Friday, so that will be the real test! Lucky for me, Ryan will be dropping him off in the mornings, and I will be picking him up. It will be easier on me to say goodbye to Jack leaving him with Ryan, and then picking him up and taking him home with me.
I love my little boy so much! He's getting so big!
He loves the play mat that Morgan and Brent got him for Christmas. He is so content, and can stare at the dangly things for a long time! The orange one has a mirror on the other side of it, and he likes that too. He will flail his arms and accidentally bump one of the toys and then stare at it while it sways. It's so funny! The expression on his face in this picture is priceless! He's such a happy little guy! I love playing with him!

I had some fun on picnik with these pictures by adding some text to them. I love them!
This picture was taken by my mom. It's one of my all time favorites. He is only a few days old here. He's gotten so big and changed so much in a matter of weeks. I can hardly believe it.
