After sad goodbye to my mom on the 1st it was impossible to think that we could manage on our own, but alas, we have been on our own for a week and time is ticking away. Mike is due home in just over 4 weeks (yay!) and my dad arrives next Saturday for a week-long stay to help out and to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with us. Since Tatum's arrival time has seemed to pass rather quickly which is great because it could be the opposite. I continue to learn something new everyday and we are beginning to establish somewhat of a routine.
Tatum continues to do wonderfully and she is already up to 8lbs. 15oz. which means that she has gained over a pound in 3 weeks. She is a very mild-mannered baby and she only cries when she is truly hungry or just desiring to be held. My neighbors and friends from the squadron continue to be a wonderful help to us by walking the dogs and cooking meals. Life will be so great once Mike returns and can assume the role of daddy.
