Don't mind my white trash look, just look at Dylan! hehe.

awwwwww

Well things are great in the Harper household. I GOT A JOB!! whoo hoo. It's with a pretty good company in Addison, right where I used to work (which is also right down the street from Mike, so that's cool). It's for a Marketing Coordinator. I have been wanting to enter the Marketing industry some how but I couldn't find anyone to get me any experience. Finally, I will be able to get some at this company. I am excited to finally get started and have a real job instead of being an admin or something. So this is kinda my first job after my degree, so I'm excited. The pay is great and so we are excited to have money again!

We have decided to try my friend Angela out for watching Dylan. She has answered a lot of my questions and concerns this week. Mike and I each had a list of things we were worried about, so I discussed them with her. She is catering to us pretty well and has assured us of our worries. Of course, we are still sooo scared to leave him anywhere that's not with either one of us, but we have to do this. She is a great mother to her 3 boys and I think she will do good with Dylan too. Plus, Dylan loves to watch her boys play and I think when he gets alittle older, he will have fun with them. Plus, he won't be getting sick as often since he won't be in daycare, she is right down the street and she is a lot cheaper. So this is working out for all of us. She isn't watching any of the kids she was and said she will not accept another newborn if she has Dylan. That was one of our main concerns. We budgeted enough for a full daycare just so we didn't get our hopes up about saving money since that was the least of our concerns. But, we told her we were going to try it out and see how it goes. I'm so nervous. I will also miss him like CRAZY!!! I got what i wanted though, a good job, now I'm like, ugh, why couldn't I have just enjoyed being home with him instead of worrying about it so much! hehe. I guess we just want to be able to buy him lots of things and go on trips and stuff. With me home with him, we were on such a budget that we couldn't do anything!! We just plan on moving his bed time back an hour and then that will give us about 3 hours a night with him or something like that. We will just do family time, bath, book and stuff. that's still not enough, but it will have to be I guess. Then I'll just smother him on the weekends with lots of kisses. hehe. I just dont' want him to forget who his mommy is. :(

Well, I went and bought some new clothes for him today. He needed some long sleeve stuff.

He has his next dr visit on Thursday, I'll keep everyone posted on how that goes and what he weighs etc.
