So, I have a little less than 2 months before I'm suppose to go back to work and I'm so lost in what to do. There are just so many choices and paths that we could go down come the new year. I was holding Jesalyn this morning and I just thought to my self, there is no way I can hand her over to a day care all day while she's still so little and young. So, then I have to decide what to do. We've always talked about Jarrod staying at home with her and maybe picking up an evening job. I've been with my job for so long, it seems like I should stay where I'm at. We've also talked about moving. But where to? is the next question. Yes, we miss Nashville like crazy, but it's so much more expensive there. I would have to get a pretty big raise/promotion to be able to afford living there. We've talked about moving back to our hometown. It would be less expensive to live and we would also have our family close by. But then, the town is so small, would we be able to find jobs? There are just so many questions and things to think about. I'm really trying not to stress. Normally I would be pulling my hair out cutting it this close and not having the answer, but I'm trying to just have faith. There have many times in my life where I just knew things were going to fall apart. Like when Jarrod and I got married, I still don't know how we paid all of our bills with what we were making at our jobs, but somehow it all worked out. I believe God had His hand on us, and I believe He's going to help us with this too. So many times in my life, I've stressed with situations just knowing that it was all going to fall apart, but I've always got through it. I'm just waiting to see how this whole child care thing is going pan out.
In other news, we gave Jesalyn her first bath the other night. She cried during the whole thing. We had her in her tub. The tub part has this hammock thing for newborns that keeps them out of the water. I think she just got cold and that's why she was crying. We lowered the bottom part of the hammock into the water last night and bathed her, and she didn't cry once. I actually think she kind of liked it. She held on to my finger for dear life though. She looked a bit scared like she wasn't so sure what was happening, but I think she like the water. The pictures below are from the first bath.
We tried to catch her smiling the other night:

I totally know what you mean on not knowing where to go with things. Ever since we found out we can't move to TX right now we want to do so many things. You're right God has his hands on everything and he has a path already made out for you. I hope that you can hear some kind of hint from him, or some sign on what you should do, and hopefully it's soon! Sometimes we have to take that leap of faith into something that may not sound 100% "ready" for you, but that you feel could be the best in the long run. I hope it works out for ya!
