Little Miss Diva

We had a busy day today!

With Natalie getting up about every 3 hours, by the time I put her back to bed and when I finally can go to bed after pumping I think I get about 2 hours of sleep at a time. Makes for a very tired mommy! We finally got up at 10am to start the day. By the time I got her and me cleaned up, dressed, and fed, we left the house around 11:45 or so. We headed toward the hospital with intentions of bringing Bobby lunch, but by only communicating through text messages since they were having a major issue at work, bringing lunch to him didn't go as smoothly as planned.

By the time I had got done talking with the lactation consultant due to having an infection from the breastfeeding/pumping (hopefully all the topical medication heals everything!), Natalie and I were able to get Bobby some food. We stopped at Clabber Girl (luckily there was a parking stop not far from the door) and picked up lunch. It is definitely much more work to juggle a carseat, car keys, money, and carryout! So, while we waited for our food to be ready, I decided I would just finish my drink there so I didn't have to carry it out to the car with everything else, which wasn't very smart because then I was thirsty later, but oh well!

After dropping of lunch to Bobby, we headed to my work so I could complete the Ed Fair that was going on today! What should have only taken an hour, took about 2 by the time everyone got done meeting her! She did pretty well, but was fussy and would not drink her bottle since it was room temperature and not warm like it would have been at home...my little diva! Luckily, the ladies at the office enjoyed holding and attempting to comfort her while I finished all the education and we were on our way back home by 2:45p.

My intentions were to head to Walmart prior to heading home, but had to go home for just a little bit to warm up her bottle (which she drank right up after it was warmed) to make for a happy baby at her first trip to the store! I'm glad I didn't have to get a ton of things because with her carseat in the main part of the cart, it doesn't allow for much room surrounding her to put any groceries! She slept through the whole thing, such a good baby! Even slept through a stop at Kroger as well since I had forgotten something at Walmart! So, by the time we got home it was after 5p. Definitely takes a lot more time/effort to go anywhere with a baby, but it was nice to get out of the house! Needless to say, we took a short little nap while Bobby went to a basketball meeting!

This week will remain busy with her doctor appointment tomorrow and my doctor appointment on Thursday. I cannot believe that she is going to be 1 MONTH OLD on Thursday already! At least she is still in newborn clothes and diapers...for NOW anyway!
