Day Care update

Pick up from the Trial run of daycare on 9-14

The first week has passed and Courtney has done really well at daycare and I have done well at work. Meredith, the day care provider, has been really good about informing me of her routine and Courtney seems to be sleeping better at night with all of the activity during the day. She does go through a lot of outfits though! There was only one day this week that I picked her up that she had on the outfit that she went to daycare in. The rest have come home in plastic bags :)

She had two nights that went particularly well since the start of daycare. Tuesday night she fell asleep at 10:30PM (she had eaten at 8pm) and didn't wake up until I woke her up to feed her at 6AM. Wednesday night she fell asleep at 8:30 (after eating at 6PM) and assuming she would wake up at 9, Brian held her and just by chance happened to wake up at midnight to a still sleeping Courtney! I fed her then and she slept until 6AM when I again had to wake her to eat before I left for work. I am feeling very lucky considering the week prior to daycare she was getting up again every 3 hours.

Things at work just sort of fell into place. I have only worked in one department but I seemed to have remembered how things work :) It is a challenge to pump 3 times at work, as I get 3 20 minute breaks and have to pump 3 times to keep up with Courtney's eating schedule. I look like a gymnast trying to eat and pump at the same time :) Due to time constraints I will be eating a lot of sandwiches!

Congrats on sleeping well! Let's hope that continues.

I hope you've got a good, easy place to pump if you'll be in there 3 times a day. Hopefully you'll have other time available for adult socialization if your breaks aren't available anymore!

It looks like a great day care group and she's even got a built-in classmate!
