So, we have reached a few more milestones....today TWO upper front teeth just popped through....you can't see them, but you can feel them. She has been fussy, chewing, drooling, red cheeks, and waking up a lot at night. At least since going through this already, I knew what to expect. I got a text from our nanny today to tell me the good news since she found them after I had gone to work.
The other is that she went to a babysitter today. For the first time!! My nanny had to go to an appointment, and I had to be at our plant today--I scrambled a bit and ended up talking to my neighbor who has some older girls. They are friends w/ a couple that have an 8 year old and 1 year old. I talked to them yesterday and they gave me the babysitter they use, but alas....she was all booked up.
They SO KINDLY offered to take baby girl from 2:30-5:30 today. Of course I was worried she would cry, etc.....but I went to go pick baby girl up and she was just fine.
In fact she was so exhausted we started bedtime routine at 5:47pm. We did bath, bottle, and she was completely sleeping in my arms by 6:25pm. I wanted to just hold her since she doesn't let me do that very much and it was just so nice....what a great way to end my day. I put her in the crib at 6:45pm and she cried just briefly and conked out again. She was tired. I knew this due to the screams in my face when I was getting her ready for bath and jammie time.
As for me....it's been a strange week or so. Lots of fatigue again...so much so that I took yesterday off to sleep, get a massage, and run a few errands. It was super nice, but back to the grind today...and 2 more days this week. I just don't know if this will be my state of being as a single mom. Wait, just had a lightbulb....I had 2 of my dear friends in town this weekend staying Sat-Monday morning. What I've learned about having company is that it can be hard when you have a baby. I think it's because I'm anxious about making sure she's okay, keeping her occupied, taking care of her, and any break I get if she's napping I want to spend w/ my company. We also usually head to a few restaurants, etc..It can be exhausting trying to split your attention. Not sure there is an easier way to do things since I love when they come.
Wears a mama out.
Closing on my rental property next week. Oy.
