Gracie is already 11 weeks old. I can't believe it. It's bitter sweet because that means I'm headed back to work full-time VERY soon, Oct 4 to be exact. So, today we start our transition to a diet of both formula & breast milk. We're using Enfamil Premium per the doctor's recommendation and think there's such an advantage to nursing so I'll continue that as long as I can. Formula though will add a great convenience while we're on the run.
October is already looking like a very busy month. On Oct 10, Gracie will attend our church's baby dedication service where she is dedicated to God. It's similar to a baptism, without the holy water & Christian's believe that a child doesn't have to be baptized to be "saved" if something horrific happens to him or her. Gracie will then grow up & make the choice to be baptized on her own. Many children at our church make this choice between the ages of 8-10 years old. We've done a lot of research about it & are very happy with our Pastor, church & very educated friends on this topic. After the baby dedication during the 1015 service, we're having a luncheon at our home to celebrate our decision to raise Gracie in a Christian home. Evan, Gracie's godfather, is also making the trip from PA & we're excited for him to meet her.
This week the plan is to catch up on housework, laundry & also put a TON of photos of Gracie I just got in the mail (408 to be exact) into albums. I fear if I don't keep up with this, I'll never do it. Hey, it only took me 4 years to get our wedding photos in an album LOL!
Have a nice weekend everyone!
