Single Again??!!

Yesterday Steve and I attempted to make it to church but didn't. I have still been so tired after working the night shift to make it up for church the next day, and since Steve had Kaitlyn and was helping me, he ended up not making it this week either. So, we decided to go to another ward for sacrament. We looked one up online and decided to go. When we walked up to the church there weren't very many cars in the parking lot, and we wondered if that ward still met there, but decided they must cause there were still several cars. When we looked on the door on the way in we noticed that it said they met a 1pm, so we were happy that there would still be sacrament even though we were a couple of minutes late. When we walked in the room had not very many people in it. We were still outside of the chapel, but it was a glass window looking into it if that makes sense. This guy came up to us and told us that the family ward met earlier that day and that this was a young singles adult ward. We totally felt stupid at that point since it was the two of us with a 3 month old baby. We decided to stay and take the sacrament anyway, so we just sat outside the chapel where we could still see and hear everything that was going on. Right as they started passing the sacrament Kaitlyn started screaming cause she was hungry. After I decided there was no way to stop her I fed her, but that meant we had to stay part way through the rest of the meeting. Talk about embarrassing by having to feed a baby in a singles' ward!

Baby Rocky

Kaitlyn and I decided to do our own workout video to show how strong Kaitlyn is getting. She was awesome, Kaitlyn worked out so hard and is building those strong muscles she needs. I am so proud of her with the decision to start working out at such a young age so she can be healthy and strong. We decided to go with the music of "Eye of the Tiger" since that is one of the greatest workout songs ever. Hope you enjoy the video.

Rolling, Rolling, Rolling

Our little baby is growing so much! On Sunday night I was complaining to my sister how Kaitlyn is still not rolling over. I stick her on her belly everyday in hopes that she will roll over. She told me that it is really a 4 month milestone than a 2 month. So, I decided to stop anticipating it. Well, lo and behold I gave her a bath that night and she was laying on the floor of her bedroom and I turned around to put something in her dresser. When I returned to look at her she was on her back and just a little further over on her blanket! I couldn't believe that she had rolled. I wondered if it was a purposeful roll or an accident from her kicking so much. So, I put her back on her belly and she did it again. Then, she did it twice more the next day. She thinks it is pretty cool. I definitely was way excited! Then, I also got her laughing pretty good today. I just can't believe how much she is growing. Still working on the naps though, but we are making some progress with that slowly too! Here is a video of her rolling over.
P.S. The video kind of sucks cause we are way too zoomed and so it is grainy and wobbly, but it gets better right at the end. Might I also add that it was our first time in a long time using the recorder. When we went to re-shoot the video she was just plain mad that we were making her do it over and over and so she just screamed. So, this is what we got.

Back to Work :(

Tonight is my first night back to work. I was supposed to go in at 7pm, but they put me on call until 11pm when I had to come in. This was actually a nice transition back to work to only have to come for 8 hours, and leave for work after Kaitlyn was already asleep for the night. It was hard leaving her for the first time going to work. Now that I am at work things are going better, but I am sure it will be hard all over again next week when I have to go again, but for more hours. If I am able to stay awake all night it will be a miracle since I haven't worked a night shift since July, and by the time I get home I will have been up for 24 hours. I guess this is the new life of a working mom. Hopefully I will adjust quickly.

Happy Halloween!

Here is our beautiful angel on Halloween. Doesn't she make the cutest flower ever? I sure think so.
