My first week back at work went well. I am so lucky to work with such a great group of people. It really helped eased my transition. We are getting busy again, and there have been some staff role changes that are being implemented, so it's been full steam ahead. I am a little worried about how I will get everything done knowing that most days I have to be out of there by 515 to pick Connor up, since I was used to staying until 600 or 630 or even later most days, but I will just have to make sure to use my time wisely and efficiently when I am there. I have to say, it is nice having a reason to get out of there at a reasonable hour!
Ryan has most Wednesdays off, so he is lucky enough to be able to spend the day with Baby Linn. I think he may have been a little bit nervous last week since it was the first time he was alone with him for more than an hour or two, but I think they had a great day together. They went to the grocery store, to his office for a little bit, and took a ride up to our friend's house who also has Wednesdays off and gets to spend it with his one year old daughter. I loved getting pictures texted to me throughout the day!
Sitting in the kitchen watching Dad cook dinner (funny, those pants don't go with that shirt, but they don't look half bad together)
Finally found a use for that book that we've been tryin to sell on Ebay!
Hurry home, Mom!
I'm trying to get into a routine after work - Connor usually gets a bath while Ryan makes dinner and then after dinner we play a little before it is time for a final feeding and then Connor is usually in bed by 9 or 915 and immediately after I put him down I wash my face, brush my teeth, and literally dive into bed because I am so tired! Connor WAS sleeping really well right before I went back to work, but I think the new routine has been a bit of a shock to his system because he's waking up through the night again at least once, sometimes multiple times. Most nights he will sleep from about 9-3 or 330 though, so I guess I really can't complain because that IS 6 or 6.5 hours straight. He just doesn't really go back to a sound sleep after that. Again, I guess I really can't complain too much about snuggling with a drowsy baby in the early morning hours. I don't think I've ever been so happy to come home on a Friday night and have nothing planned!
I survived my first week of daycare!
On Saturday we planned a full day of football watching. I felt a little bit bad for Ryan since Penn State was having such a rough start to their season and even though I swore I would never do it, I thought Connor might be a good luck charm.
Don't worry, he was out of those clothes immedately after the game and much more comfortable in his Notre Dame gear.
Connor was fast asleep before the Notre Dame game was over, but I was excited about our big win over Michigan State. I can't believe I stayed up until it was over, it was waaaay past my bedtime!
On Sunday my parents made a (sort of ) surprise trip up to Williamsport. I think my mom was missing Baby Linn. Connor was a little bit boring - he took a nap on my mom's lap for a good 1.5-2 hours, but I enjoyed their visit and my dad got his "chores" around our house done. Hopefully that was the last time he will have to deal with our window AC units! On Sunday evening we went over to Debbie's house for a delicious dinner. It was a beautiful night and she built a fire in her fire pit so after dinner we made smores. What a fun way to end the weekend!
Nothing too exciting to report about this week so far, except for the fact that Connor has his first cold. That didn't take long! I'm not surprised though, all those new germs he's been exposed to at daycare will certainly do that, and I'm sure that he's going to have his fair share of illnesses like every other baby. He's been drooling a lot and a little bit crankier than usual lately and I just assumed that he's going to start teething soon, but when I picked him up today his eyes were all red and his nose was all runny. He fell asleep in the car and he's still sleeping (actually, it sounds like he's snoring because I think his nose is a little stuffy). Hopefully he'll sleep it out and it won't last long. At least he'll be home with Ryan tomorrow so I'm sure he'll be well taken care of.
Poor baby.
