Well, today my girl is 13 weeks old. She'll be 3 months tomorrow, and we have survived 6 working days so far!
Baby girl is doing great with her two aunties. Mama on the other hand is still having a hard time coping. I'm shedding a few tears every morning and race home to get her every evening. I'm told this is perfectly normal ;)
Sleep is even harder to come by, but I'm doing ok up until about 5 PM. That's when I start to really crash. On the bright side, I'm getting to work much earlier than before. I mean, when you get up at 5 AM to feed, pump and make bottles, there's no real reason to fall back asleep!
Everyone at the office has been amazing and supportive. I've only pumped in my car twice so far. I even have access to a lovely cubbie at the client's office to pump when I'm in Plano!
Caroline is taking the bottle ok. The first bottle feeding of the day seems to be the most challenging. Her first morning with my aunt, she only took 1 ounce of milk before napping, which triggered me to call Children's. They indicated that 1 ounce is the minimum that she should take in every 4 hours. Whew! Glad we know that now!!
Looking forward to the long weekend and more time with my girl. Daddy doesn't have any fishing plans this weekend either - so we should have plenty of family bonding time! Yeah!!
P.S, Here's a picture of her first day with aunt Lori another of her at her aunt kim's. I love that everyone has iPhones!
