It is amazing how quickly four weeks can go by. I feel like it was just yesterday that I began this sabbatical journey. So many things have changed since then. I became a mother, Josh became a father, and we welcomed a beautiful daughter into our lives. It is amazing to think about all the ‘firsts’ we have yet to experience.
Last week, we got out of the house and visited some friends. The owners of one of my Funeral Homes invited us over to their home. We met for lunch and they were able to meet Lucille. It was wonderful. I haven’t been out of the house for that long since she was born! We started talking about the holidays and her possibly going to meet Santa. They told me not to worry about it, they had a Santa suit! Before we left, he put on the Santa suit and Lucille was able to get her first pictures with Santa Claus. IT was great not having to worry about crowds and her possibly getting sick. It was a relief to be able to start this tradition with the comfort of friends rather than strangers.
I have finally started getting out of the house with her on my own. It is nice to be independent again. She loves car rides and doesn’t mind being in her car seat while we are out and about. We have another doctor’s appointment this week for her month-old check-up. I am looking forward to seeing how much weight she has gained! We are also going to try to visit some friends and enjoy our last few weeks together. Time really does fly.
