3 Months Old!

This is 4 days late because every time I attempted to get pictures, it didn't work out. Spit up happens :)

 This month you are awake more than you are asleep! Rarely do you cry unless you are hungry or tired. You are so different than your big sister, you have to have quiet to sleep and are just not happy if you get over stimulated. You don't like to be passed around at family gatherings. Thankfully Michelle got you a white noise machine for Christmas and we've figured out that if there is too much going on we can stick you in the car seat with that and you're out!
 I'm not sure how big you are, but today I had to stretch out your 3-6 month top and the pants looked more like capris!! Almost time to move up to 6 month clothes. Seriously, you're one tall girl. I think you might be taller than Emma! And all this growing explains why you were so hungry and just not yourself the last two days!
 You are officially sleeping through the night consistently. You have been for weeks, but every mom knows not to say it out loud for a while! You go to bed at 730-8pm and sleep until 6-7am! I feel like a normal person again :)
Time for a bottle Momma!!!

iPhone purge

Sunday we had a date night, yummy dinner and drinks at CPK then went to a movie! My girls have been so sweet (could we be leaving terrible 3's so early?!?), every morning Emma starts the day off snuggling her sister and Alyssa just smiles! She is the happiest baby, and she just "talks" all day long. I really can't remember life without her beautiful smile. 3 month post coming tomorrow, I can not believe its been 3 months today since I gave birth.

Back to Work

I went back to work officially January 1st. I am still PRN (as needed), but will be working 24hours/week. So far it's been an okay transition, the hardest part is getting off at midnight and still getting up in the morning. I will have to say today I slept in with the girls until 8am...which I somewhat regret because I felt like I was playing catch-up this evening!

A typical monday goes something like this:
6am feed Alyssa and put her back to sleep, get up and shower and have coffee.
7am The girls are up, make breakfast.
8am free play or cartoons for Emma while I do some cleaning, laundry and dishes...and recently my 30 day shred workout!
9am feed Alyssa
10am get the girls dressed (huge battle for my 3yr old Diva)
1045am leave for Dance class, starts at 11 and goes until 12
1230pm home from dance, make lunch, feed Alyssa and get them both down for naps
130pm clean up lunch, pack my dinner
220pm leave for work
3-1130pm help bring some sweet miracles into the world....(girls are home with Daddy)
1230-6am....much deserved sleep!
Thankfully I have every tuesday and thursday off and that is when Emma is in school, I should probably be all June Cleaver when I have so much free time but lately I've just been taking that time to spoil my sweet baby!

Now if only it wasn't a HIPAA violation to share all my good work stories :) I will share pictures instead
