We visited Dr. Brown (in Dr. Reilly's office) on Monday about Elsie's jaundice and for a regular one week checkup. Elsie is doing VERY well! She put our already subsiding anxiety to rest regarding the jaundice. Part of me expects her to start crawling any day now... She's changing every day and it's awesome to watch.
And now it's not her who chooses whether or not to only sleep when held, it's mom and dad. ;)
Speaking of being completely head over heels for this little girl, I heard 2 months ago a story about a friend's mom who, at a similar stage in her parenting experience, decided that there was no way she could trust anyone outside of her family to raise her son besides herself. She did not want to go back to work at the cost of precious time with him. At the time I thought "That's neat, but I don't think we'll have that choice."
I spent some time today snuggling with Elsie reading "The Baby Book" by Dr. Sears. In it is a whole chapter (30-ish pages) on returning to work. It became very apparent through reading this section of the book that we were going to need to make it a choice; that neither of us were going to be able to let her go to daycare when Jill is supposed to go back to school in August. So I spent the rest of the day crunching numbers, brainstorming, and otherwise taking the first steps to making it work.
On a related note, is anyone interested in a 2006 Accord or an iPhone? ;)
