doing my best...

As many of you know my baby girl arrived five weeks early. She wasn't due until January 19th and she decided that she didn't want to be in my belly anymore so I went into labor on December 16th and had her at 12:11 am on the 17th. Right now I'm very overwhelmed w/ being a mommy to a newborn and trying to keep things the same with my 10-year old son. This has been kind of a hard transition for him considering he's been our baby for the past 10 years. He LOVES his sister to pieces and is so happy she is here but he now has to share his attention and he's not so sure about that. It's only been a week and three days so everything is fairly new to us and I'm trying to do my best.

Since I wasn't expecting baby girl until January, I had set deadlines for senior orders on the 16th. Those orders have been ordered and should be here sometime this week.
I haven't been on the computer much to check emails and have had my phone off due to trying to recover from delivery, get some much needed sleep (considering I only slept three hours from Friday to Monday while in the hospital), taking care of a baby who needs mommy every two hours not to mention spend time with my son, spending the holiday weekend w/ my family who I don't get to see that much and yesterday was my birthday. So I apologize if I haven't returned your email...I'm doing my best.

I had so many things I wanted to get done before maternity leave and I didn't quite get there so I'm asking please be patient with me. I'm in no way trying to hang you dry, this is a situation that was out of my control. I really can't take the stress right now and I really don't want to deal with stress considering I have the "new mommy" blues and cry over everything and anything. I'm willing to work w/ you (print credit or extra images on disc) as long as you stay patient.
I'm still taking it easy this week but hopefully by Tuesday the 3rd I will get everything that I need to get done and officially start my maternity leave sometime next week!!!!

Once again I apologize for the inconvenience.
