This was the BIG week. And boy, did I go back to a full schedule. We've been dropping Emma off at daycare at 7:30am, and I haven't been able to pick her up until 5:30pm. Both nights I've had to sit and do paperwork after I got home, and I haven't even finished Monday's yet.
On Monday, she did well at daycare. She took about 1 oz at each feeding (at least she's eating from the bottle) and had a good 2 1/2 hour nap. Today, not so well... still eating around 1oz at each feeding, but she didn't nap longer than 45 minutes, so she was cranky. We got her to sleep around 7pm but she's still restless.
I like being back at work but it's frustrating. I'm completely exhausted -- she ate every 1.5 to 2 hours last night -- and I feel overwhelmed by the fact that I get to see my daughter awake for maybe 2 hours total. I don't want to go into details, but I'm struggling in so many ways. People keep telling me it will get better. I really hope they're right.
In any case, here are a few pictures.
On Sunday (her 3 month birthday), we went out to take some family pictures. I've been wanting to do that for some time, but we've been SO busy. We finally just made time, and here are a few of the pictures. Some of the others turned out gorgeous, but I will wait for Joe to edit them and upload some to the blog.
And here's Mommy and Emma, on the first morning I went back to work. Not a great picture, but I wanted to take a "first morning" picture. :)
