SPOILED!!

Seeing the title you probably think I am talking about Reed! Well, him being spoiled of course goes without saying! Being the only grandchild on both sides of the family I am sure he will always be spoiled rotten! :) This time I am talking about Josh and I! I have been wanting to write this post forever it seems, to thank our families for all they do for us. Reed is the luckiest little boy to have his Gran, Gigi and Papa (our Moms and Josh's Dad) taking care of him every week and we are the luckiest parents to have our parents watching our child. I am also SUPER blessed to have a job that as been so flexible with my schedule. Since Reed was 12 weeks old I went back to work, working 3 days a week in the office and 2 days from home. Being the Controller and only accountant for a small company has its perks and downfalls at the same time. I wasn't really able to take a maternity leave, I basically never stopped doing my full time job. I even closed the books in April with a 2 1/2 week old. However, because of this I have been able to continue working from home some. Most of the time Gigi (Josh's Mom) watches Reed on Mondays and Fridays and my Mom watches him on Tuesday or Thursday depending on her work schedule. One Friday a month Josh's Dad watches Reed. My schedule can get crazy sometimes requiring me to be in the office 4 days during the week and Josh has had to take a couple of vacation days. So far we have all been able to make it work and we couldn't be more happy or feel more loved. While I was pregnant and people would ask what we were going to do about childcare I would always say my best case scenario would be for us to keep Reed out of daycare until he was 6 months old. Some days I can't believe that it has been possible, we feel SO BLESSED. Now with flu season coming the grandmas have decided to keep Reed at home until spring!

Oh and I haven't mentioned that our parents drive about 50 mins to our house by 7:30 am for me to leave for work! This is a huge deal getting up so early and we are so thankful! If this wasn't enough our Moms also do so much around the house for us! They do laundry, fold clothes, dust, clean floors and we have even had dinner made for us a few times!

We love our parents so much a we are beyond grateful for all they do for us!!
