Week 12

We are officially slammed at work, the days are just crazy. Good part is the day goes really quick, bad part is I have to stay a little later than I like. Most everyone is staying until 7:00 but I am really trying to leave no later than 5:30. I just go in early and work straight through lunch. Everyone else is working weekends too, but Maddox will only be a baby for little while and I refuse to miss it just for work and a little extra money. I just hope the bosses realize this and don't start pressuring me about it. It is really tough though....I feel guilty when I am leaving work while everyone else is working but I also feel guilty when it is 5:30 and I am still at work and I could be at home with my baby. I just hope this passes soon. The stress is really getting to me. I try to relax when I get home but its not easy. I even dream about work. It does help that Maddox is starting to sleep until 6:00 am every morning so we are getting a little more sleep.

Jason's first Father's Day was a great day. We met my parents and Lucas for brunch at Golden Corral and hung out there just catching up and visiting for a couple hours. I made Jason a really neat book that included all the pictures of him and Maddox together. He also got a Reds shirt that says world's greatest dad. Those kind of shirts are not usually Jay's style but I guess this one is ok because it is sports related. After brunch we spent the rest of the day at home. It was so nice to spend time together just enjoying our time as a family. Plus Jay got to take a Father's Day nap. I know he really enjoyed that.

Maddox officially has a favorite toy. He just loves his caterpillar!! He has been playing with it for the last couple weeks. Its just like the one in the book The Very Hungry Caterpillar. His face lights up when we give it to him. I think it is a lot easier to hold than most of his other toys right now. He just wraps his arms around it. He loves to suck on the little feet. They are so wet when he is done with it, it is sooo cute.
