Long Trip

Bella is still growing and amazing me every day. My good friend Kristin came and stayed the weekend. It was wonderful to have a little help. Three of my Chilis friends came on Saturday to see Bella. It was so wonderful to see them. I knew I missed everyone and Kansas City, but I didn't realize just how much until I saw them all get out of the car. On Sunday, Laura, Bella and I took a trip to KC. It was a very long day, but very worth it. The main objective was for me to get a new cell phone to replace the one I broke. I also got to run into Old Navy and tan. We stopped to see a few friends like Veronica and Denise and ofcoarse went to Chilis. It was hard to come back. I'm sure every time will get easier.

Tomorrow I start at Chilis in Bartlesville. I am anxious to have a schedule again, but nervous about being away from Bella so much. It will be worth it though; we will be in our own house soon. This week Bella has begun to stay awake more. I have started laying her on a blanket in the floor surrounded by her toys and her mirror. She has so much fun! She will make faces at herself in the mirror. When you place her rattle in her hand she shakes it all around while constantly kicking her legs. She gets stronger all the time. I am very thankful that she is doing so well. She has even started throwing little tantrums and getting angry. All though these cries are tiresome, I can't help but be happy that she is healthy enough to be so angry. Tomorrow I am going to box up the premie clothes. It's hard to believe it's been seven weeks already.

Sunday will be my first mother's day as a mother. I however am not the brightest and schedules myself to work on Sunday. I guess that's just the way it goes. Bella will go see the doctor on the 20th and I am hoping to get some sort of an estimate on how much longer we will have the monitor.
