Anyway, today Hannah is 8 weeks old. This is also the week I started back at work and my little baby started day care. It was a little nerve wracking to think of her being taking care of by strangers all day 5 days a week when I have been the primary care provider since she was born, but so far so good. She had a great first day and I had a great first day back at work. Things have really transitioned nicely. I'm so thankful we have a place to take her everyday where the people are so friendly and you know her needs are being met. I'm hoping her motor skills will improve and she will get the attention she needs to grow and develop every week.
She's such a serious baby. Hardly ever smiles, but she has cracked a few smiles in the last few days which really melts my heart. She has also been so pacified since starting day care. She just comes home and is so mellow. She is also pretty sleepy so we haven't figured out how long we should let her sleep at night. We got home yesterday and I fed her at 6pm and then she went to sleep from 7-12. Well then she got up again at 3am and then wanted to eat again around 6am. So both daddy and I were a little tired today. We'll figure it out though. I will say that she is so easy to care for at night. She'll wake up and want to eat. I'll feed her, change her diaper, put her back in her crib and she will fall asleep all within 20-30 minutes. So it's not too bad.
She'll be 2 months old on Monday so I need to schedule her well baby checkup for next week. I'll be anxious to see how much weight she has gained but I'm not looking forward to her getting shots. I can hear the crying already. Yikes!!! Well I guess that's it for now. I'll leave you with a photo from Mother's Day and one from Monday. Have a blessed week everyone :)
