Mama's Girl

Maggie is becoming a true Mama's Girl. I hate to admit it, but I love the fact that she prefers me. I'm sure this will eventually get old. When she is fussing and wiggling in someone else's arms, I can take her and she is content. Sometimes when I'm in the shower, Tony will bring her into the bathroom wailing. I can wipe the condensation from the shower door so that she can see me, and she will immediately settle down and grin at me.
I am the evil woman that sucks out her snot with the blue bulb of torture, and I take her to the doctor so she can have diseases inserted into her leg through a needle. She is either very forgiving or has a short memory.

Catching up

So... it's been a long time since I've posted.In the last month, Maggie has grown a lot. She's finally outgrown some clothes. She can't wear her 0-3 months sleepers, but she still wears the onesies, pants and gowns. She has started making lots of talking sounds and laughing. If she is placed on her belly, she can raise her head up and look around. We have seen her roll for belly to back once.In my working life, I'm still going through bad days occasionally. Most days are tolerable though. I've given some thought to requesting some form of alternate work schedule. Maybe one or two days a week working from home. I'm hesitant to ask for such things, because I'm a big wuss. I've given myself the deadline of Easter to decide if I can continue to live this 40 hours a week away from my baby schedule. Until then I'm doing some soul searching and trying to decide what kind of schedule I really want.Today, I'm blogging from western Kentucky. We're at my in-laws house, so I'm getting some uninterrupted computer time while Maggie plays with her grandparents.Wow, this is a really boring post. Characteristic of my life these days.
