Ramblings

I can't believe that Quinn is almost 2 months old. We are working on getting the birth story written and will post a little of it online but we feel really good about the birth and about the community we created around the pregnancy. We had amazing people to help us and they still are helping! Our last appointment at the birth center was last Monday and next we see the pediatrician.

Quinn slept for almost 6 hours in one stretch last night...this is unheard of so of course I was up and worried that she was sleeping too much. I am an anxious mom. She was, of course, just fine and today is not taking as many naps but seems to be pretty happy. She is smiling a lot and made some almost giggly noises at her ZaZa today which was so sweet to see. We are really in love with her and just stare at her most of the day! This does not mean that we don't feel completely out of our element as new parents most of the time. :)

We are still trying to get into some semblance of a routine but it is hard. We started charting her eating, sleeping, and diapers yesterday to see if there is a pattern. I will start back at work on 3/23 and Taylor has been working from home a little and goes back into the office for a few days starting next week. Quinn starts daycare on 3/30...I am not excited to leave her somewhere but know that it is good in the long run and what we have to do right now. We have managed to arrange our schedules so that she only will be going M/W/F. I will be home Tuesday and Taylor on Thursday.

I am on my own on Monday nights as Taylor has class and Quinn is waking up so I am off to get her.
