Well, we've made it through half the week, and I am exhausted! I forgot how much I hate getting up in the morning; if would be helpful if my baby alarm would go off when I want it to, instead of an hour before I need to, or just as I'm exiting the shower. I had a slight meltdown Sunday night thinking of taking her to daycare and going back to work...I kept trying to think of ways to save money so I could stay home. Erich has narrowed it down to winning the lottery, le sigh.
Daycare is going good; they're really nice and have a good teacher to infant ratio. It helps that she's been in a good mood when I drop her off so far. Yeah, I drop her off, I got the raw end of this deal! It makes more sense for me to drop her off since it's on my way to work--kind of--and Erich gets off earlier than me so he picks her up. I feel out of the loop getting the details of her day secondhand. Today was my halfday, so I picked her up early and it was good seeing her there, totally content playing on the floor. Apparently they just love her, she's got a great disposition, and is very advanced for her age. Well, we knew she was perfect, now it's not just us advertising that. :)
Work has been weird; I'm trying to get back into the swing of things, and trying to remember what the heck I was doing two months ago. Plus I have people asking how it's going, do I miss Harper, etc...I'm getting busy already, so that should help keep my mind off not being with her during the day. The first day was a long one! I also can't believe how fast time goes by once we get home; I get home, snuggle and feed her, eat dinner, snuggle and feed her, maybe watch part of a tv show, go to bed, wake up to snuggle and feed...rinse and repeat. Erich was nice enough to handle the middle of the night feedings Sunday and Monday, and then I took on last night...it wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't a light sleeper--everything wakes me up, every noise, every movement I hear from the monitor. So, once she moves, I'm up...it sucks, especially when I have to get up and be an active member of society.
So, since I had my short term disability extended with my surgery, I now have a plethora of vacation days, and not sure when I'll use them. I can carry over 5 days into 2011, but that still leaves me with 12...I don't want to waste them on a lazy day at home, but we aren't planning any trips outside of the Dave Matthews concert next month--good music, good food, some gambling and drinking, good way to celebrate turning 30!
Here are some pics from her baptism a few weeks ago...
