Working Mom
Today is my first day back at work. It wasn't too hard to come back today since Kailey is at home with Rob and I am going home at lunchtime to see how my peanut is doing. Right now I hate not being home to catch some of my daytime talk shows more than anything!
Tomorrow it will hit me though. Kailey has her first day at the sitters house. I interviewed 2 places and loved both of them. The first one is in my neighborhood. The lady there does newsletters, class pictures, projects, pizza parties, holiday parties, etc. It was great but Kailey wont be benefiting from any of that for awhile. This lady also had a lot of toddlers and would also have another infant. I just wasnt sure if Kailey would get the attention a newborn should be receiving.
The second lady that I interviewed is actually my friend's doula. She lives right next to where I work. I went to see her and loved her. She has a 4 month old boy and then 1-2 days a week she watches a little girl who is 16 months old. It was a perfect fit. She will be going to daycare there Tuesday - Thursday. Mondays my mother-in-law will watch her and on Fridays my mom will watch her.
Rob is still off so I will probably only use the daycare 2 days a week but I figured not only do I have to get into a routine of taking her in the morning, she needs to too.
On a positive note, we are going on 3 nights of sleeping through the night. Kailey's been going down to sleep at 10:30pm and waking up anywhere from 6-7am.

Sleep
Kailey slept through the night. Praise the Lord! I put her down at 10:30pm and about 10:45pm she started to fuss a bit. Her binky fell out so Rob shoved it back in. Next thing I know its 6:15am. I changed her diaper, fed her, we played a bit and then she fell asleep again until 10:30am.
It was probably a one night deal but I am still excited about it.

1 Month Doctor Appointment
Kailey had her 1 month doctors appointment today and it went really well. The doctor answered a few questions that I had and then we went over her height and weight. She is now 9lbs 5oz and 21 3/4 inches long. Her head size went from 34cm at birth to 38cm. Her weight is at the 50th percentile and her head and height are at the 75th percentile.
She is her father's daughter for sure!

Bad Night/Good Night
Last night after Kailey's 8pm feeding, she went started crying like I have never seen her cry before. I checked her diaper and it was good, she had just eaten, I laid her on her belly, on her back, walked with her while cradling her, over my shoulder, sat in the rocking chair, sat on the couch - nothing worked. She usually poops after eating and I am pretty sure her belly was just bothering her. I did get her to poop a tiny bit, but not much. After 2 hours of this crying, she finally fell asleep. She woke up about 12:30am ready to eat. As soon as she was done, I put her down to sleep and the next thing I know, Rob is asking me if she is ok. It was 8:30am! Woo hoo! She slept the whole night. She didnt wake up till 9am! Now if we could get her to sleep a little earlier like a 9pm-5am schedule... that would be beautiful!

Home Alone
Kailey had her first sleepover last night and left us for a night to ourselves. I dropped Kailey off at Grandma's and then Rob and I went to finally enjoy our Valentines Day dinner at Olive Garden. For Christmas, Casey and Maura gave us a gift card for dinner and a movie and it was the perfect time to cash them in!
We get to Olive Garden and just start our meal when some kid starts crying and screaming. So much for a night without hearing that! Dinner was fabulous and so was my daiquiri!
We stopped at Hollywood Video on the way home and rented Gone Baby Gone. Well that pretty much describes me... I was out 45 minutes into the movie.
Rob had stocked up the fridge for with a few beers and we were ready to have ourselves a little party. A half a beer into it - I was out. I tried so hard to stay awake and I just couldnt do it.
I ended up sleeping 11 hours!
Today we are going to do a few errands, pick up formula at Sams Club, buy birthday presents at Target and go see a matinee of Jumper. Just a day for us...
