New Beginnings and Lily is 4 1/2 months Old

It has been a while since I have posted anything. Most people do not know, but my divorce from Andy was finalized on 07/31/09. It has been such an emotional time for me since he left back at the end of December, but time heals all wounds. My family has been my saving grace. The one thing Andy and I did do right was make our beautiful little girl Lily Grace.
I cannot believe that Lily is already 4 1/2 months old. She is such a great baby and my pride and joy. She is finding everything so funny these days. She is playing more with her toys, but still HATES tummy time. She has been sleeping through the night since she was about 10 weeks old, which has been a saving grace for me. She is doing well at daycare and her teachers and the director just love her, they say she has not fussed once since she started.
Poor baby was sick last week with a stomach bug, but I have to say she was great through the whole thing, she hardly fussed and she never had a fever. Poor thing just could not keep anything down for about 2.5 days. She finally was able to keep a little milk down on Sunday and has been doing well since.

I should be done with my medical transcription course by the end of October and then do that part time until I get the hang of it, then hopefully I can quit my job and stay home with Lily and do transcribing full time. I just hate that I have to be away from her and really do not want to miss out on the big things in her life, like her first steps and her first word. My goal is to be able to quit by next April to June. Plus, since it is only me raising her, I just want to be able to give her all that she needs.
