Now-A-Days!

Well it is almost October and we are starting to get into the swing of things! Lucy is doing just wonderful at Little Village Academy and I'm starting to get a hang of this working Mom thing, too! (not that it is any easier than the first day returning to work - and Mondays often seem to be the worse and I just miss Lucy sooo much!)

Lucy is also started to sleep better! Can I get an, AMEN! :) AMEN!

Here's our weekly schedule:

6:30am - Lucy stirs in bed and begins to "talk." Denny brings Lucy to our bed and I nurse/cuddle with her!

6:45 - Denny showers

7:00 - I shower (Lucy plays in our room while Denny gets ready)

7:15 - Denny and Lucy play downstairs while he makes coffee/breakfast/etc

7:20 - I play with Lucy/have breakfast/pack school bags and diaper bag

7:30 - We leave for Granville and Denny leaves for downtown

8:00 - drop Lucy off at Little Village (I normally stay for 10 minutes or so to play!)

8:15 - arrive at school

3:45pm - leave school to pick up Lucy!

4:30 - arrive at home and PLAY/make dinner and nurse Lucy

*Lucy finally sleeps through the WHOLE night without any feedings! She usually stirs and fusses 1 time during the night but within minutes puts herself right back to sleep!
