The Haertling Family: 12 weeks old!!!

Tyler, you were 12 weeks old on Friday, April 22nd. (Good Friday) We spent the morning together and I loved it! Daddy worked a half day..yea! We went to your Great Grandma and Grandpa Kryger's in the afternoon to visit. That evening we went to Martha and Tom's to see family that you have never met before. (Erin, Ryan and Keely) It was quite an eventful evening. We have had such rainy and stormy weather lately...Wed. we had to go in the basement at home due to tornados and then on Friday while we were at Martha and Tom's the sirens went off again! We headed down to the basement. Thankfully, there was no major damage in Nashville. However, St. Louis was hit really hard. It is so devastating to see the pictures of the homes that were completely destroyed, as well as the damage at the airport. Thankfully, we called Aunt Jessica and they were safe and had no damage! Monday was my last full day with you at home and I am so sad! Coming back to work is so much harder than I ever imagined. I knew it would be hard, but it is horrible! I miss you like crazy every minute of the day, all I do is think about you and what you're doing...are you sleeping, eating, laughing?!?! I miss singing to you and talking to you! I promise I am working to give you the best possible! I find myself mid sentence during the day and just welling up with tears! The evening with you go by way too fast and I find myself not wanting to put you down when you fall asleep. I could just hold you all night long...that's how precious my time is with you! You are the joy of my life and I love you more and more everyday! My stomach hurts when I have to leave you! I love you baby girl and I praise God for giving me you each day! You truly are the biggest blessing in my life!
