Can I just say Miriam is getting to be so much fun! Now that she can sit really well, she is much happier to play while I try to get a few things done around the house. I know I know... you're thinking housework can wait... babies grow up... I know this is true but I happen to be one of those people who are emotionally upset by a cluttered and dirty house so getting a little done makes me feel much better about myself and life in general!

We've had Miriam for just over three months now! We have settled into a routine of sorts and Miriam is doing very well. She has finally started to sleep through the night most nights except for waking once or maybe twice. Much better then before!
She is sitting very well these days and plays well with her toys. She still refuses to roll over. She looks at me like I'm nuts when I try to get her to do it.

Today is my last day of maternity leave. I have to return to work tomorrow. I really wish I didn't have to go back to work. I just want to stay home with Miriam, but until Brian gets a job with benefits this is what I have to do.
We are at least lucky enough not to have to hire a babysitter as Brian will be able to watch Miriam since I will only be working weekends.
