Back to work

[aerrin]

Today is my first day back at work. I'm here just in the afternoons for the next five weeks - 4 hours a day, from 1-5. It's really nothing, in the scheme of things. I'm missing a feeding and a nap, probably. Maybe two naps

I had a hard time too when Ethan was that small, I wanted to do stuff like laundry but he had other plans lol

First day back - I remember my own! With my first I had a really hard time. With my second it just felt right, like I was better mentally prepared for it maybe. Sounds like you're in a good space! And yeah, you're not missing very much with the 4 hours/day - that's nice! :)

Tbh part of me is very surprised Nate didn't pop out of you with a specific schedule in hand

If only, man. If only.

My sister in law had my nephew on a schedule from like day one, and I remember very clearly listening to him scream because he was hungry. So I decided to take the advice of every baby book and website I've read (and I've read a lot of them by now) and not try to schedule him until he's closer to three months.

It's kind of killing my soul.

But I did make a spreadsheet of his sleeping and eating habits. Which I can do because I track every single activity that child does. There are apps for that, now.
