Claire has started to develop a schedule...I think! Last night she went to bed at 8:30pm and slept until 2:45am. She got up to feed and then went back to bed and slept until 7:45 this morning! I was loving it! She has been putting herself to sleep in the crib. We lay her down when she is starting to get sleepy and usually within 15 minutes she is out. Thankfully she doesn't do much crying either. It is very hard for me to leave her cry! She is doing so many fun things now too. She smiles lots and coos more and more every day. I have started letting her watch the Baby Einstein videos while I pump and she seems to enjoy them for a short time. We have been tackling switching Claire to bottle feeding. This has been a bit of a challenge but we are now bottle feeding her during the day and I nurse at night. That means my entire day is filled with bottle feeding, pumping, cleaning bottles, then bottle feeding, pumping, and cleaning bottles. You get the idea! I don't mind though...at least she is slowly taking to the bottle.
We are busy with finding a house and finding a babysitter these days. I am not looking forward to leaving my baby with a stranger one day a week, but at least it is only one day a week. We are searching through a babysitting website that has background checks and references for each person which makes me feel a little bit better. We have done one interview so far which went very well and have two more to do tonight. It is going to be very hard for me to go back to work and leave my little girl. At least the first day I go back Claire will be home with Jeff. Here are some more pictures to keep you in the loop on watching Claire grow! Hope all is well.
