This is the first time I have been away from Baby V for more than 9 hours.
Don't get me wrong, a getaway is needed every now and again to stay sane, but that doesn't mean I don't want to be with her 24/7.

Because I do.

At first, I had mixed feelings about leaving her. I was nervous to leave her in someone else's care for 24 hours at a time, regardless if it was her daddy or not.
There are some things only mommy's know how to deal with and sometimes babies just need/want their mommies.

Were here today, so it all worked out, it took a lot of phone and video calls, but we made it through.
It was just one of those things, where you have to let go and go with it.

So this weekend is Vegas Weekend.
We're going to celebrate my cousin's big 3-0. Been there and done that.
This weekend is meant for gambling, food and relaxation. No partying. And that's 100% okay with me.
Vegas doesn't always mean you have to party. Right??

It was a nice, quiet, relaxing and stressful weekend.
Why stressful you ask? If you are a nursing mom, you'll understand why. We were always on the go, whether to a different casino or another restaurant. Sadly every 4-5 hours, I had to rush back to our room for 'mommy time'. That was stressful.

Two and a half days later, I'm home and my little girl is waiting for me.
To say, I am not going anywhere without her for a while, is an understatement!

BTW if your in Vegas... Make sure you check out these places.
The food.... AMAZING!

Where in the world does the time go?
Seriously, I feel like I just blinked from the day we brought her from to the hospital to today! 
Can we slow it down, just a little! Let me enjoy this sweet little girl, before she becomes a spoiled brat. 
Because let's be honest, I am going to spoil my child rotten!

I went to lunch the other day with my mom and sister, V was with us too, when my mom mentioned how she remembers carrying my little sister in a car seat wishing she was old enough to walk on her own, "and now she'll be twenty in two months", she says with tears in her eyes. My first thought was HOLY COW that is going to be me in twenty years. Then, I got teary eyed too.

It's amazes me how much little babies grow and learn in such a short time. Just look at that face!! She is a character and showing signs of needing all the attention on her, like all the time. She discovered coughing the other day. So now, when she wants you to pay attention to her, she will cough to get it. She likes to blow spit bubbles and concentrates so hard to do it, her face is priceless. Her hands and feet are her favorite snack. Especially her feet during diaper changes, which makes it task for mommy every single time. Her Daddy's funny faces and weird noises always makes her giggle. And she is starting to get very curios about her doggies, Riley and Oscar.<3

I love to watch her grow and hate is all at the same time. 
Everyone always told me, being a Mom is amazing. What they forgot to mention was that it sucks too. It sucks to watch time fly away from you.

We just need to soak in every damn second, while it lasts. 

I have definitely fallen off the grid lately. Having a baby will do that to ya. Going back to work and balancing will only make it worse. That is, until you get the into the swing of things. I am a first time mommy, so its taking me a little long to get my feet back on the ground, but were doing it.

Accountant by day.
Mommy/Wifey/Creator by night.

There's a balance to all this and I swear to you I will find it. However, if you have any tips let me know.

In the meantime, I will be working on more blog posts and getting things moved over from my old blog. See you Lovers soon.
