My first day/night alone without Mike here. The day went great..we slept, we fed, we changed poopy diapers, we fed..we played..
I started to get panicky when Mike went to go get Matthew from daycare though when he was on his break. I was sweating how it was going to go. The good thing is that I only had one meltdown..the bad thing is that I did it in front of Matthew and that isn't cool.
Once I got past it and apologized like 10 times to him..we read some books and had some snuggle time on the sofa and then he went to bed with no problems.
Now it is just Katelynn and I again for a couple of more hours before Mike gets home. Whew.
I have a drs appointment for her tomorrow to check her weight gain since Friday and to also get her follow up pku test. My first time taking her out of the house by myself..eek! I am sure I will do okay though. At least it is early enough in the day to where I can get ready while Mike is still here in the morning, and all I have to do is feed her and probably change her diaper 10 times before leaving the house. lol!
I also called school today to ask about extending my maternity leave through next term as well. She said that I could extend it one more term if I wanted. I do! I just have to convince Mike. It is going to be semi hard to do. He knows how bad I want to be home with her..it would only be 4 more weeks! I can't imagine handing her off to daycare (even if it is just his mom and sister) when she is still healing. I just can't do it. She is our last baby and I want this time with her. I don't want to be stressing and studying when she is just so little..I would like us to have more of a routine before I go and hand her away to someone. Mike doesn't realize I will be up all night with her still and have to go in to school in the mornings.
Hopefully he will come around. It isn't like he doesn't want me to..he is just scared about the finances.
So we will see..wish me luck LOL! She said all I have to do is get a letter from her ped that I am taking care of her following heart surgery, and fax it in to her..that is it. It will be up to Mike to fax it, and he would need to do it by next week..
Time will tell!
Now I am off to watch some really junky tv before she wakes again...ta-ta!

You can do it! Once you get that first day out of the way it gets easier. Well most of the time anyway. Some days you think "now why did I want another kid?" but it all works out. You are doing great, here's to a good weight gain! (for Katelynn lol)
