I've been back to work for 3 weeks now (since March 22). It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I really needed to get out of the house, and I enjoy talking to adults. I cried the night before and the day of my first day back. Since then it's been fine though. I learned that I can't call to check on her. 2 of the 3 times I have called to check on her she has been screaming. That makes me want to cry. I don't know why, but I just lose control of myself. I feel like all I do now is take her home and put her to bed. But at least I have a couple hours to spend with her before she goes to bed each day.This also makes it hard for me to work overtime or do anything on a weeknight.
She has started sleeping in her own room and crib at night. (YAY!) Dusten wants her to stay in our room in her bassinett until she has to go to hers. It was really nice having her in our room, especially when she was waking up to feed in the middle of the night. I didn't even have to get out of bed, just lift her up in to ours. Saturday night I made a deal with him that she could come to our room if she woke up in the middle of the night or 5 or 6 in the morning if that's when she woke up. She slept til 7:30AM and I got the best night's sleep since she has been born. She has slept in her room ever since. I think we are the ones that wake her up. I have noticed that she will rarely wake up before we do. She'll wake up when the alarm goes off or I start walking around the house in the morning. Now I feel like I have a little more freedom to have the radio and lights on in our room after she goes to bed, and I don't have to worry about waking her up!
We had her 3 month pictures taken on Saturday. It was a disaster for the most part. She screamed most of the time and so we all had to get in position and then take her pacifier out real quick and try to get a picture before she started screaming. We finally got a picture of her smiling at the very end, which made it worth all the misery. Of course once they left she was a perfect angel the rest of the weekend. Some of her pictures are posted on Facebook, so check out our tagged photos if we are friends =)
