Helicopter Mom

I have to admit, I have been quite the helicopter mom since Charlie has come home. I swore I would never be 'that' mom- But lo and behold- that's me. I use the excuse that she's a preemie, but who am I kidding? I'm not sure it'd be any different even if she was full term.

Anyway, my sweet Mom, who's also a first time Grandma, was gracious enough to put up with my hovering this last week. Let me tell you- it was wonderful. Who knew mom's still needed their moms so badly!? She grocery shopped for me, did my laundry, did the dishes, and made sure there was dinner on the table every night. I definitely logged a few more hours of sleep each day too. What did I do to deserve this fabulous lady in my life?

I'm so glad Charlotte got to meet her Gramma k (for the 2nd time, but since her first time meeting Gramma she was in an isolet.. we don't really count that).

Melt my heart. 

Three Generations!

Home At Last!

I think it's safe to say we are truly enjoying having sweet baby Charlie home! I can't even believe its been three weeks! Its surely been exhausting, but she is so worth all the sleepless nights.

All in all she's a terrific baby. Everyday I'm so grateful for her! I could not have asked for a more laid back little girl. Don't get me wrong, she's still a princess and loves her baths. She also loves to eat. In her first week home she gained almost ten ounces! She's got her daddy's appetite.

(Look at those chins!)

It's crazy to think that her due date is tomorrow, and she's already two months old! She's still on a bit of oxygen, but we're hopeful she won't need it much longer. I'm counting down the days until I'm able to take her places and show her off to the world!

I've had a blast watching her grow bigger and can't wait for all that's to come with my sweetie!

I just adore her!
