Checking in with a 3 month update! Morgan turns 4 months in 10 days, but better late than never, right?!
This past month seems to have flown by! I started back to work on March 7th and am happy to report that I didn't die like I initially though I would ;) Day one brought a lot of tears, but it's gotten easier every day! I did get into a funk Monday of this week, but I suppose that's bound to happen. Matt and I decided that I would start back part time for now, so that is definitely making the transition so, so much easier.
I'm going to the office with Morgan this morning to finish up vaccine inventory, so I'm planning on popping her on the scale to get a weight! I tried weighing her at home- weigh myself, then weigh her- but I Matt and I got two different weights (13.6 and 15) so it's peaked my curiosity even more. She's a great eater for sure and I love, love all her chubby rolls! On work/daycare days she nurses 3 times and has three 4oz bottles at daycare; on days we're home together she nurses about 6 times. I stopped giving her bottles at home unless we're out and about so that I don't have to pump as often on my days off. Thankfully pumping at work has been going well and I haven't seen much of a dip in my supply (fear I had before starting back) so far. I get to pump twice at work and then I'm still getting up between 2-3am to pump since sweet girl is sleeping through the night.
About 3ish weeks ago we tried weaning Morgan from the swaddle- she did great for 3-4 days but then we had a few yucky nights so we started to re-swaddle her, and totally failed. She was breaking free every.single.time. I got desperate and ordered a "magic sleep suit" that I'd seen on a few blogs. It looks absolutely ridiculous but what a game changer!! She's been sleeping great in it for the past two weeks...so great that we moved her to the nursery last weekend! She's been sleeping from 8:30pm-7am! I have to wake her up on work days around 7 so I can feed her, get her changed, and play for a bit before we leave at 8. On non daycare days she sleeps until 7:30-8. I'm hoping we don't even go through the dreaded 4 month sleep regression.
She's getting more used to daycare I think. Her teachers say she is mellow for the most part, but "has her moments". She doesn't nap much at all while she's there- nosy rosy- so she's pretty exhausted and barely makes it to 8 before wanting to pass out for the night. Her naps are usually 30-45 mins at daycare all day, but will have two solid 2 hour naps for me at home. I still put her in the swing or let her sleep in my arms when we're at home-- she won't let me do it forever so I'm soaking up what I can for as long as I can! :)
Likes-
Bathtime with dad
Being outside
Eating
Toys
Her hands- in her mouth constantly
Dislikes-
Being sleepy
Hunger
I can't wait to see what she does this month!! She is so close to giggling and I love, love that sound!!
