Back to work

So this week was a big week, back to work. New schedule to attend to and things to try to get done. I would say so far so good. Today was much easier to drop her off after having a day with her at home. I focused last night on doing the chores for the evening, Thursdays are the upstairs bathroom. I was on my hands and knees cleaning the tub and vacuuming and dishes till 10 then hubs and I watched Greys. Before we used to be in bed by ten and we go to bed now around 11 which isn't bad.

We have been lucky so far, little miss Addison has started a little routine which is wonderful. Around 7 or 8 pm she starts to fuss. I nurse her and if she is still hungry she gets a little formula. After that its diaper, pjs, lotion and swaddle. Unless there is a bath needed beforehand. Once she is ready we rock while I nurse her and read her a story. 15 minutes later even if she isn't all the way asleep she goes in her swing and she is good till 12ish. Hubs and I will head to bed around 11 and he gets her when she cries and brings her to bed with us. Then she is close to do the 3am feeding and then we are up at 6 for the day. So far so good. She wakes up really happy and content. Its so nice to have a happy baby to wake up to.

She is changing every day and its so amazing. Her little hands have started to open up and she is grasping at so much more. Her eyes are staring so intently on everything, you can see her learning. I am so lucky to be able to spend time with her during the days when I work from home. I feel like I am not missing so much of her life.

I am still breastfeeding her as much as I can and I have been trying to produce more milk as best as I can. I have been drinking water (even though I can probably drink more) I have started taking fenegreek which I believe last night made me so THIRSTY I drank 48 ounces in a half hour and I wanted more. So far it has not made me pump more but its only been the first day. I also have been drinking mothers milk tea, so we will see. I have hoped to nurse for 12 months and I still hope to do that, its just discouraging some days when all day all I pump is 3 ounces. But I will keep trying, I was reading online about cluster pumping and just being with your baby for a day and pumping and feeding all day to try to increase your supply. Maybe I will try that sometime. But for now its been a few hours since I last pumped so I must go do that.

Four hours till I see my little munchkin, who will be two months next week!
