Patrick and Jamie Froh Family: Here we go. . .

Morning,

Well, this week is it, my first "official" shift at the YMCA is tomorrow. I have quite a few emotions that I am feeling right now. Im sure that this is a tad premature, however, I feel a tad overwhelmed right now and it is only Monday. I'm trying to anticipate this weeks needs now so that we are not rushing around mid week. I keep telling myself that I just need to take a step back and roll with the punches, but this is me we are talking about here! I am excited to head into work tomorrow knowing that Maddie will be in good hands while I am away. Before I made the decision to stay home, I would honestly have a knot in my throat thinking about her going to day care. Im sure it was just a first time mom feeling, but I had a hard time shaking it. Im happy to report that I dont have that knot when thinking about tomorrow. Whenever I work, Maddie will be watched by my mom and Pat's mom which is a HUGE sense of relief! **Thanks in advance moms** The month of September is all over the board with my trainings and such, but I know that my obsession to plan ahead, as well as a good support system, that we will make it through like always.

In anticipation of our busy week this week, we spent the weekend relaxing for the most part. We ran some errands, got caught up on laundry, planned meals for the week, ironed clothing, etc . . . .but most importantly, spent some time kicking back just the 3 of us! It was fantastic!!

Maddie showed us once again how big she is getting! She is sitting up for long periods of time on her own, attempting a sippy cup (crazy, I know!), and spending a good amount of time keeping herself occupied.

Maddie sitting up on her own for a good 5 minutes!
