CNL is 8 weeks

It is no cliche to say that time flies when you are having fun! I honestly can say that time has been spent staring at our baby girl... all day long and loving every minute of it! It's official, I will now be a full time stay at home mommy! I will be getting to do alot more of that QT with Carley! Yippy! We are super excited and I am pumped that we can make it work so I do not miss out on anything! It is absolutely the BEST gift that my loving husband could ever give me!! We have certainly prayed and prayed about it and think that it is the best thing for our growing family!
