Well fans…looks like maternity leave is coming to an end. I’m starting school again on Monday. Feeling very mixed about going back, but I think it is going to be okay. I’m really tempted not to go, but if I just stick it out for TEN MORE MONTHS then I’ll finally get that degree! Might as well. I’ve been working on the stupid thing for six years now.

We have hired a nanny though, so I think the transition will go all right. Supernanny came last week for a few days–kinda like an orientation since I was here with her most of the time–and things went well. It’s really hard to hand Little Baby Girl over to her, but fortunately she’s awesome! Rahul and I like her so much that we are afraid she must be a serial killer or something–she’s just so great. We are really lucky to have found her.

Anyway, Little Miss herself is growing like crazy, and getting to be SO much fun! We went to California for 2 1/2 weeks at the start of the month. While we were there she suddenly discovered that her hands can DO things and she’s been very busy ever since: touching her toes, patting her little paws, reaching for toys, grabbing my nose. And she smiles and smiles and smiles now. It’s just amazing to watch her and play with her. I love her so much!

Here are some pictures of her little 3-month-old self:
