Working Woman

That title could be a little deceiving....but, I am working again. My first day back was Monday and I was actually ready to come back to the world of adult conversations and being able to eat a full meal without interruption. Or I thought I was because when 2:00 hit I was ready to go home to my baby. Unfortunately, I didn't get home from work until close to 7:00pm. Thankfully she was wide awake and ready to play when I got home. I did get some pretty awesome flowers from her and the dog on my first day back. Lucky girl, I am.

Tomorrow is her first day of daycare, my mom watches her in the beginning of the week, and to say I'm nervous would be an understatement. I remind myself that most babies go to daycare and sooner than her. I was lucky enough not to come back to work until she was almost 10 weeks.

She is really starting to be able to track objects with her eyes and she smiles all of the time now. She laughs at herself in her sleep, but I've yet to be able to make her giggle. I can't wait for that. She can hold her head steady if you sit her up and she has good head control when she's on your shoulder. She loves the play mat and coos and talks to the animals that dangle. She's almost into 3 month clothes and I can finally keep socks on her little feet. She really is growing up.

She's had a bit of a cough the last few days. I'm keeping any eye on it, I'm paranoid about the whooping cough now. Particularly because last night I got an e-mail about it. Not that I think she has the whooping cough, but I'll definitely be keeping a close eye on it.

Well, wish us luck as tomorrow is our first day of daycare. Let's hope for a good day all around!
