I'm not going to lie..I was dreading Adam's first trip away from home. I was sooo afraid that I wouldn't be able to juggle everything all by myself. It was a lot of hard work and planning ahead but I survived. Yay me!! And Stella lived to tell about it:)
A couple of things saved me. First, we have a great daycare that takes care of Stella. And we have a wonderful babysitter that picks Stella up from daycare between 4-430 everyday and spends some one-on-one time with her until I get home from work. It's such a relief to know that Stella is in good hands and they love her as much as she loves them! But even so..I still rush home to kiss those chubby little cheeks:)
Also, since Adam was away for more than a week, I decided to go to my parents for the weekend. That way I wasn't sitting at home lonely and they could give me a hand with Stella. Of course, they didn't mind the extra snuggles with her either! My sis and her family came too and Stella was a bit of a star because people came from all over to see her.
While in Owensboro, I also had Stella's 3 month pics taken by a high school friend that now does photography. I'll share more on that later!
Since I'm taking this time to pat myself on the back....I'll go ahead and add a few other things I'm proud of myself for!
- I'VE REACHED MY PRE-PREGNANCY WEIGHT: WooHoo! This happened 2-3 weeks ago and I'm so happy. (The benefits of nursing!) If only I was in shape...It's definitely still a flabby version of my pre-pregnancy weight but oh well..happy to see that number again! With that I'm also fitting into ALL of my pre pregnancy pants
- I'VE SUCCESSFULLY BEEN BREASTFEEDING FOR 3+ MONTHS: Wow I never thought I would say that! If it wasn't for pumping I think I could make it a whole year..but I despise the pump:( So, for now I'm taking it one week at a time.
Ok sorry for the moment of tooting my own horn. Look forward to sharing with you Stella's 4 month stats soon...she's growing up so fast!
