3-1/2 weeks and counting...

It's hard to believe that 6-1/2 weeks of my maternity leave (referred to by some as a 10-week vacation) is already over! I don't know where the time has gone. I started my leave with one goal - enjoy every second possible with Rhett and don't stress out about stuff around the house. Having learned with McKenna that what they say about "they grow up so fast" is true, I decided to just cherish this baby stage whether he's happy or fussy. Fortunately, he's been mostly happy. But let's be honest. Those of you that know me, know that I can't not stress out about stuff around the house. So, I had a secret "honey-do" list for myself that remains untouched. Oh well. Like I said, I don't know where the time has gone. I spend most of my days feeding Rhett, washing bottles, doing laundry, getting dinner ready, running an errand here or there, and maybe finding time for a shower (just kidding). It doesn't matter... I've accomplished my goal. I'm enjoying my time with Rhett because I know before long he'll be toddling around independently just like McBre. :(

Yes, I know... we have two kids. Rhett isn't getting equal press in this blog, is he? The reason is that all he does is sleep! It doesn't make for very interesting pictures or videos. Well, we finally got a good picture of him with his eyes open. Introducing Rhett Cooper...
