It is best to keep your weekend activities to maybe one a day for now and continue to spend the evenings with her, putting her to bed. Hope you adjust, it does take time!<br /><br />Alyzabeth's MommyAlyson and Fordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09152315459410231214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574698533535873072.post-1282175564429078822011-08-19T15:18:33.651-04:002011-08-19T15:18:33.651-04:00I've been thinking of you.

He didn't seem bothered at all; a sure sign that he was secure in the knowledge that I would be back for him. Sounds like she is secure and happy, too. Makeup in the morning? You really ARE doing well! Good luck catching some zzzs. Love the pictures, especially the leggings.<br /><br />RubyChina Dreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01501593747405465770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574698533535873072.post-46897146108410303922011-08-18T12:51:05.901-04:002011-08-18T12:51:05.901-04:00I understand.

They are busy and playing. We are working and missing them. The end of the day greetings are the best! They get better...wait.<br /><br />The big thing that saved us was weekly menu planning. I can not say it enough. It helps reduce the stress, allows for more time together in the evenings, makes sure the adults are fed and have lunch for the next day.<br /><br />Keep smilin!4Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497882301211681198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574698533535873072.post-44954877448259737712011-08-18T07:13:36.264-04:002011-08-18T07:13:36.264-04:00As a btdt - it sounds to me like y'all are roc...As a btdt - it sounds to me like y'all are rocking on the bonding / attachment and that Mia's pretty much right on target!

All I can say is it will get easier. It's normal for the fussing once the first few honeymoon days with daycare are over but it will settle down again and your sitter should be able to reassure you that she is happy and settled very soon after you leave. Good luck and enjoy your last few days.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12711583593777948158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574698533535873072.post-54150438383339454952011-08-17T23:52:23.780-04:002011-08-17T23:52:23.780-04:00bulldozing others to get to you is a good thing. :...bulldozing others to get to you is a good thing. :) All mommies just eat that up. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04910258636674801379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574698533535873072.post-90797543215096946282011-08-17T23:36:11.022-04:002011-08-17T23:36:11.022-04:00So glad re-entry into the real world is going so w...So glad re-entry into the real world is going so well for both of you. Being tired will likely be a permanent condition, but you're obviously a natural at this Mommy thing judging from Mia's happy little face. (Of course, you've had lots of practice by being the cool aunt for several years!) Eager to see you both in person next month!Sarah in MTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574698533535873072.post-55557320701160342302011-08-17T21:38:30.454-04:002011-08-17T21:38:30.454-04:00Sounds like you're off to a pretty good start,...Sounds like you're off to a pretty good start, even if you are both tired.<br /><br />I'll be back to work on 8/31. Our trial run day will be 8/26 when I have an optional workday for my per diem rate (making up for furlough days lost last year). I'm nervous about the morning routine, although I only have to take her with me twice a week once we settle into our routine. I'm praying that somehow, someway, I will be able to be a SAHM someday. I have no idea how that can be, but it's my heart's desire. Always has been.Joannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17152737939303560896noreply@blogger.com
