5 weeks

So Abigail turned 5 weeks yesterday and in some ways it feels like it has flown by and others it feels like it has been creeping by. Many ups and downs but overall very good :) I do have pictures to post but I am being lazy right now. I will be posting them soon, I hope. Last week Abigail and I ventured out on our own to a lunch date. I was very pround of myself :) This week we've had another lunch date, visited my family in perryville and ran errands (even wally world.) I'm feeling very confident in traveling and going out on my own. My major obstacle was carrying the car seat without it hurting my back. I've had constant pain in my back from the spinal. Some days are good, some are bad. Certain things trigger it such as bending over to pick something up or carrying her carseat. Overall I am taking it easy...I just hate worrying about if something is going to cause me pain. Anyway, small steps. I am happy to say that Abigail's Nana (Jarrett's mom) will be keeping her when I go back to work. She will keep her 3-4 days a week and the other day(s) she will go to the daycare 5 minutes from our house.
