Back to work & 6 weeks old already?

Well that time is almost here for me to return to work. Big fat HISS to this. My first day back is this Friday Dec 3rd. Madison is going to be staying with her Grandma that day because I will be getting off work early due to our company Christmas party.
I'm not as stressed out as I thought I would be when this time came. I'm comfortable with who she'll be staying with daycare wise, my job is for the most part low-stress BUT my biggest stress comes from when I'll get home and I'll have a baby, husband and house to take care of. Now, I am VERY blessed and lucky when it comes to my husband. Chris cooks dinner almost every night and will help out with anything I need. But I still have this feeling that after working all day, taking care of things at home, I'll be ready for bed by 9pm but I doubt Madison will be up for this. And of course I'm sure I'll have to get up at least once a night to feed her. But Chris said we'd take turns on nights to wake up if I needed the break. *love* He's amazing.
I cannot believe my baby girl is already 6 weeks old (well, tomorrow). Tonight is bath night, which she loves. I really think she'll be a water kid if things stay the way they are :)
Oh and we're getting family photos taken on Saturday!

First day.

Okay so I'm giving in to the blogging-gods and starting a blog. Lord, help us all! I just figured it's a way to log neat things Madison is doing or that we have going on in our lives.
So Madison is 5 weeks and 3 days old now. She's more awake during the daytime (& sometimes night).
She follows our voices and faces more and more each day. Everynight she still sleeps in her bouncy chair beside our bed, but it keeps her happy so it works for us! She is finally out growing some of her newborn clothes, mostly by length but it's still fun getting out new clothes for her to wear. She has hiccups at least once a day, everyday.
As for the adults in the house- Chris took a long weekend at work, so we're enjoying some family time together. We did a little black Friday shopping in town and picked up a couple gifts. Today we're going to put up our Christmas tree and get it decorated. Hard to believe it's almost Christmas time. But I'm so excited to spend our first "family" Christmas together!
