Post 100!!

Look at this, everyone! Post 100. Thank you to those that have been here since the beginning. I know there may not be many of you, but I know there are some. So, to update on how this blog is doing. I have had a total of 3,638 page views since I first started this blog. Most are, of course, from the US, 3,319 views. The place with the second most views is France at 132 views. Then we've got Russia (46), Ireland (37), Portugal (37), Poland (10), Mexico (7), Ukraine (7), Australia (6), and Germany (6). I know there were other places that aren't listed because there are 31 page views not in my list. My first post was on August 27, 2014. I have now had this blog for over two years. You have been with me since announcing I was pregnant to now. Of course, I will be discussing Amelia shortly, as well as a few other things. I just wanted to say how proud I am of this blog. I originally started this as a way to make money and stay home. But, seeing as I've had this blog for two years and I've made 58 cents. It ended up being a way to get things off my chest and not have to write in a diary. 
Now on to Amelia. She was supposed to start day care on the 26th, but she got the stomach flu instead. It was a rough few days. She just had to pass it on to everyone. Her, then me, then Mom and Dad, then Michaila. Thankfully, it was over within three days for all of us. She started day care on the first of this month. So far, it's been pretty good. She doesn't like it when I leave her, but the person who runs it says it only lasts about 10 minutes before she starts playing with the other kids. I normally have to pick her up during nap time, though. She doesn't like that very much. Soon that'll change though.
I finally got a promotion at work. I am now a Team Lead at my job. I am so excited but very nervous. I'm actually more nervous than anything. I don't want to mess anything up. What if I don't do well? That's what keeps going through my mind. I think I'm ready for it, but I don't want to disappoint anyone. There are some people who stuck their necks out for me to get this position and I don't want to disappoint them. I know I can do it, I just don't want to mess it up. That's the biggest issue. Besides needing a babysitter for the weekends and weeknights. Thankfully, the weekdays are taken care of. There are so many good things about this that even out the 
bad. The raise, the benefits, more hours, sick days, and vacation days. I could, possibly, afford to move out. I could actually afford a good Christmas for Amelia. (And Erik). 
Lastly, Erik and I finally hit six months of dating. Still not sure if it feels like it's been longer or shorter than that. Either way, I'm happy and I love him.
