So this blogging thing turned out to be even harder to keep up with than I thought. Especially since returning to work full time. But, I will try to be better. Motherhood has been the craziest thing I have ever attempted. Just when I think I have my child figured out, she throws me a curve ball. Just when she started sleeping 6-7 hour stretches at a time, she hits her three month growth spurt and is up every 3 hours. Just when we finally are both becoming nursing pros, she decides she's too impatient to wait for the milk to let down and screams her head off for a week straight till I figured out what the problem was. Not once have I ever regretted the decision to nurse my daughter, but let me tell you, it was more painful and confusing at first than giving birth to her was. Nursing requires commitment, persistence, and perseverance. The reward is even greater than the sacrifice it requires, especially when working. It's an incredibly special part of my relationship with my daughter and I wouldn't trade it for the world.
Anyways I have been tremendously blessed with a child who is very content to play on her own. She loves to be down on the floor or in her bouncy chair and just chill out. This works very much to her advantage since she spends many hours in daycare not being held and needing to entertain herself. As much as I would just love to hug and snuggle her for hours on end, I know its good that she is so independent.
Well this has been an incredibly disjointed post, but I have to go work out now while I have my husband to watch the baby. But I promise to be more diligent with posts in the future. :)
