Allison is getting cuter and cuter by the day, at least I think so :) She is so active and is laughing all the time. She rolled over from her back to her stomach at 14 weeks and now will not quit rolling over. I can no longer put her on her back without her rolling over. She rolled over from her stomach to her back a while ago but for some reason she wont do it anymore. She gets upset when she is on her stomach for a while and will start crying. She is so animated right now too. She grabs at things and loves her activity mat. She has noticed she can make things move when she hits them. She also loves her hands and they are always in her mouth. She is drooling a lot which makes me wonder if she is starting to teethe.
I went back to work a couple of weeks ago. I cried and cried the day before and the day I went back to work. It was so many strange feelings all rolled into one. On one hand I truly miss her and am wondering what she is doing all the time. Its hard going from being with a baby every minute to being away from her for eight hours. I think also it was a chapter that ended that I didnt want to end. You think you have so much time and then its gone. So I think I cried for that reason too.I absolutely loved my maternity leave and truly got to spend such wonderful time with Allison. But after the second or third day I got more used to leaving her and getting back in the full swing of things. If I had gone back full time I truly dont know if I could have done it, so I am so thankful I am able to work part time for now. I am getting some time still with her.
We have been relatively busy or shall I say poor Will has been busy traveling almost every week. It has been hard without him at home espcially when I have to work. Allison was doing so well with her sleeping but right when I started back to work its like she changed and no longer really sleeps until 3 like we had it. She can only stay up until like 730 or so without crashing. So I usually do a dream feed at nine and then she gets me up at 1, 3, 5, but there is really no pattern. Sometimes its better than that and then others it can be worse. But I will say I can get her back down in 10 minutes or so or less if I dont feed her. We go to the doctor next week for her four month appointment so I hope I can ask her what she thinks and also about the cry it out. Although she does very well going to bed, I just dont know how to handle the mid-night times.
I took Allison to the pedi at 12 weeks because she developed a really bad rash, which turned out to be eczema. It was really bad so we have to put cortisone cream on her and cetaphil lotion every day. AND cannot wash her clothes in anything scented. Once I rewashed everything and put the cream on her she is much better although it still flares up.
