First night without Daddy

Wednesday, March 2nd

Daddy had to leave for North Carolina for an Admissions conference yesterday. He came home to grab his things & see you real quick before he left. Grammy said he gave me a bunch of kisses. Daddy said you were being a good girl. When Mommy got to town after work he hadn't left just yet, so I was able to see him too. That me be SO happy.

It was my first night with you, without Daddy. Although Grammy was there to help, I was nervous of how things would go through the night, if you realized he was gone. First of all, I mastered the "Swaddle Me". Daddy is the professional swaddler & swaddles you every night. Mommy gets frustrated because I never do it right & you pop right out. Last night, I got it on the first try!!! You were asleep by 10:50. You woke a little before 5am, ate briefly & went right back to sleep until after 8.

You were so precious this morning. I couldn't believe it was after 8 & you weren't up yet (Mommy didn't have to go to work until noon). I heard you fussing but didn't think you were awake. I looked in your bassinet. You were laying there, wide-eyed, with the sun shining on your little face. I went over to you to say 'good morning'.. you gave me the biggest smile. I caught a picture of it on my cell phone & sent it to Daddy (I'll post it soon). He texted back & said 'It made my day".

It was great getting to spend a few hours with you this morning. I fed you twice, you played for awhile & talked to me. Then, you fell asleep on my chest for awhile. I had to hand you off to Grammy so I could shower. Then, you woke & ate just before I left. I put you in your bouncy so I could head out. You were SO happy. I gave you a bunch of kisses & were talking so much. I hated to leave... I love those precious moments with you. Daddy comes home tomorrow night.. yay!
