It's been a rough week to say the least. I was sick with pneumonia and completely out of commission for 4 days. We were so lucky to have help from family! Jonny was able to keep working and I was able to sleep. It feels like this week flew by since I wasn't awake for half of it.
Ollie is a whole 7 weeks old! I can't believe how big he's getting! He's turning into a chunky boy :) He must be about 12.5 or 13 pounds and he's getting really tall. This week he's starting to smile a lot more. He's especially smiley in the morning. He's still belly laughing in his sleep but I can't wait till we can make him laugh like that. He's loving his baths, thank goodness!
The bad news for the week is I'm having to go back to work sooner than I anticipated. I was really looking forward to having a full 12 weeks off. Unfortunately my maternity leave is only covering 8 weeks, which means I'm back to business. It's going to be soo hard to leave Ollie during the day. I've only left him for a few hours at a time, never a full day. Luckily, my hours will be a bit more flexible now that I'm marketing. Ollie will be staying with my aunt 2 days a week and Jonny will take the day shift on the other days I have to be on the streets. We are so lucky we don't have to do the whole daycare thing. I love that he will be with family, that should make things easier. Next week will be full of getting things ready and tying up loose ends. I was planning on having another 5 weeks off so there's lots to cram into 2 weeks.
