On Saturday, Evan had her first visit with her Geebaw (the wonderful woman who has lovingly agreed to love Evan as one of her own grandchildren, thus allowing her to call her by the chosen name, Geebaw). Pam or "Geebaw" was one of my Mother's closest friends and we think of her as family. We feel quite fortunate that Pam is in our lives, and with her we get her delightful daughter, Josi, and granddaughter, Hannah, as well.
Pam and Josi came down on Saturday and stayed through Monday morning. We had a great time. Pam provided the loving advice and support we sorely needed. Once they departed for the Texas panhandle, we felt better prepared for parenthood. Thank you Geebaw!
The rest of the week was pretty good. On Thursday, we traveled to Decatur to have another photo session done. I think we got some pretty good shots. Rest assured, we will post them as soon as we have them!
Unfortunately, we also tried to slowly introduce the less expensive Costco brand of formula and it was not a success. After another round of projectile spit-up and tummy cramps we have surrendered. Evan's sensitive stomach cannot tolerate anything but the ridiculously priced Enfamil.
On Friday, Lance had to go back to work. So, I was on my own with Evan for an entire day. It was incredibly tiring and difficult. We were still dealing with the aftermath from the formula debacle, so she was fussy and I was frustrated. I was really happy to see Daddy walk through the door at 4:15 p.m.
It was really an eye-opening day for me. I know now that being a stay-at-home Mom might be more than I could handle. So, I think starting back to work on Tuesday, knowing she is in good hands, will be best for all of us. I will let you know how it goes!
The weekend has been good. After Lance got home on Friday, we went to Aunt Fave's birthday celebration at her parents' house and had a good time. We have spent the rest of the weekend at home trying to get ready for school to begin...and trying to get Evan on a school schedule. Who knows? It just might work!
