SI have been back to work officially for two weeks and we are starting to get some kind of routine. I am usually up by 5:30, feed Brooke one more time before leaving, get myself and both girls dressed and get them packed into car seats. Luckily Rob leaves around the same time as me so is there to help. They need to be in their carseats by 7:10 so I can drop them at daycare, brief the sitter on the morning and get to work. Fast forward to 3:40, I rush out the door, pick them up, wash bottles, get dinner started, play with them for the few precious hours I get, do baths, bed, rinse and repeat. Hard, exhausting, etc. I miss them so much and still to this day feel like I am missing major moments. I missed a lot of Jordan's firsts...crawling, rolling over, etc. Sure, she did those tricks for me at home, but I didn't get to be the first to witness them. I get sad thinking I will miss those with Brooke too.
Brooke continues to be the SWEETEST baby ever. She is an absolute dream. Happy, Smiley, Content. Coos at me, bats at her play mat toys, gets half way to rolling over from her back, and still despises tummy time (though a towel has helped a little). She is really strong though and can support her head pretty well. We tried the bumbo for the first time recently, and she did really well...Bedtime is finally a routine. She goes down around 8 or so, but absolutely still needs to be swaddled. She has slept until 5 or so a few nights, but usually is still up around 2 or 3 for a feeding. She is amazing and perfect and just a little lovie.
Jordan remains spunky. She has been doing ballet still and got her recital costume. she also had her first pedicure this weekend..actually sat pretty still. It is like she has grown up overnight. She has always been very talkative, but her vocabulary has just blossomed and it is like she is my little buddy...she calls me mom (what happened to mommy?), loves dress up and stickers, and m and ms for the potty. speaking of potty...she is pretty much trained during the day, a few accidents here and there. Pull ups still at nap and night.
I can not believe the love that I feel for my girls. They are my heart, my soul, my world (oh and their daddy too!)
