Are you reading still? How are you and the baby? How are things coming along with your husband? I have been thinking about you. Hope things are getting better at night with the baby.
Things are getting a lot better here. The baby is growing so fast. She just got her two month shots Friday.

I'm here. Today is my H's first day back at work since the baby was born. Not real happy about that since that is where OW works. He called me at 8:30 just to say good morning. I'm keeping busy around the house. We had 14 people over for dinner last night so I'm cleaning up after that and doing what seems like 100 loads of laundry.
Madison will be two months old next Monday. Last night was the first time she slept through the night, we put her down at 10:30 and she didn't get up until 5:30 am. Hopefully she'll keep this up. She gets more beautiful every day. I can't imagine life without her. I still have four more weeks until I have to go back to work. We're actually talking about having my H quit his job and stay home with the baby for a year or so. We still need to go over our finances to see if we could afford it. I would love to not have to send her to daycare right away, plus that would prevent H from running into OW at work. We'll see.
Things with H are going good, but we still haven't talked about our problems. I'm trying to find the courage to bring it up so we can move forward and deal with everything. In the mean time we have been spending lots of time together and reconnecting. We went to church together for the first time yesterday. That was nice, hopefully we'll keep going. We want to get the baby christened, but we'll have to wait until after Easter.
How are things going with you? What's going on with your H? What is the job situation?

Good to hear from you! I bet having Madison sleep through the night was a blessing for you. Last week Chloe started going to sleep at 10 and waking up about 7AM. I actually woke her up because I was worried about her. Since then most nights she has been doing the same.
My mom had a baby shower for me on Saturday. We got tons of stuff. Of course everyone was so into Chloe. Telling me she is going to be a little model and how adorable she is. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> She is sooooooooo different than my son. She is calm, pleasant and a great sleeper.
I can't go to much into detail about things with my husband. I was advised that the OW reads my posts. I guess in hopes that I say that I am giving up on my marriage or that he left me. I don't plan to give up. I love my husband.
I can say that he is such a great help with the baby. He is so into her. She has brought so much into our lives. He is a proud daddy! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
So far I had one call about a job I applied for. But they haven't called back yet to setup the interview. I am still looking. My SIL says I can come back to work for her but I really want to find something closer. The drive wouldn't be so bad if I was working more than four hours a day.
I am still working on myself. I cannot believe how thin I am becoming. Haven't been this thin since middle school. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> Course I love hearing all the good compliments. Especially the ones from my husband. Makes me strive harder to get down where I want to be. By May when I meet you guys I will be down to my goal weight.
Did you ever setup that MC appointment yet???? Take care girl... Keep me posted. I miss hearing from you. I have a lot more to say but for the reason above I cannot put it here. But your more than welcome to email me anytime. Tina_k_24@hotmail.com

Things seem to be going so much better for you. I am so happy. It's amazing how much a child can change things. I just look at the baby and I am filled with so much love. There are so many things I can't wait to do with her and teach her. I really hope my H and I can work things out where he could stay home with her. I have day care lined up, but the thought of leaving her with a stranger is just breaking my heart. How could anyone else possibly take care of her as well as H and I do?
I'd love to hear from you off line. Here is my e-mail address: kloe1972@yahoo.com I don't always check this account so if you don't hear from me you might want to post here telling me to check. Maybe we can get together for lunch now that I am home all day with just the baby. Maybe somewhere in Germantown? That's about half way for both of us. E-mail me and let me know.
