January / February Reflections [2019]

--Documenting 2019 (aka CC's First Year)--

January Adventures:
  • Started the new year with some new goals - heading to parks and enjoying baby girl
  • CC turned 3 months old
  • Enjoyed a long-awaited Justin Timberlake concert for me with Megan, Jennifer, and Shannon - literally 13 months after we bought the tickets, ha!
  • A few guys nights and football-watching events for Matt before his full-time paternity leave started, he's on fulltime baby duty until spring break
  • I went back to work on January 28th after 15 weeks of maternity leave
  • Celebrated Matt's birthday with a date to Sugarbacon and a nap

February Adventures:
  • Mostly a whole lot of tired as we enjoy the "days are long and the years are short" phase of parenthood
  • Getting into the groove back and work with pumping 3x a day just in time to say goodbye to our beloved principal who was unexpectedly moved to fill a need at another campus
  • A few visits from Lolly (my mom) and Nanny (Matt's mom) to help out while Matt balanced working online + full time caregiver duty for the baby
  • And we sleep-trained CC and moved her to naps in the crib right after her 4-month birthday, yipee! She has (mostly) mastered going to sleep on her own meaning Matt and I can have some time to eat and watch a show now after she goes to bed.
