My little peanut was 6 weeks old on Wednesday, which meant I went back to work on Monday. I wish I didn't have to go to work but since Matt still doesn't have a job, I need to work. It was hard, even though I only worked a half day. I snuggled with her all morning and then left at 12:45pm to get to work by 1. I cried the whole way there!!! Of course she was fine at home with Matt but this was the first time I had to leave her for this long! I got home around 5:15 and held her for most of the night! I worked every day this week and it's gotten easier, knowing she's being well taken care of .
Today is Matt's grandparents 50th Anniversary party. It's an open house from 2-6 and of course we will be there. My concern is that everyone is going to want to pass her around. Madelyn doesn't like to be passed from person to person and gets fussy when that happens. Matt said for me to just hold her then and tell people they can't hold her because she will get fussy but then people get mad at me and think I'm this uptight mom and rude. Oh well. We'll see how it goes I guess.
Sunday, Madelyn is getting dedicated at church. No, she's not being baptized but we're standing up in church and dedicating to raising her the way God would have us raise her and teach her and raise her in church. We're pretty excited because we really like our church and of course we want the support of our church family as we look to God to help us raise this wonderful, precious gift he's given us.
that's all for now. She's waking up and will want to eat soon. Then it's off to Costco to meet my mom for a little bit, before getting ready for the open house this afternoon.

I know it's hard, but don't worry about if people will think you're being rude- YOU are her mom and she is YOUR baby, so you get to decide who does and does not hold her. It took me a long time to figure that out, but once I did, it was so liberating! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteI cried the whole way to work my first day back too.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry what everyone thinks, you have to do right by your baby. That is all that matters. Jake was the same way when he was little about being passed around and at Christmas (he was 2.5 weeks old) I just said no. People could hold him but not a back and forth thing and I know a lot of people were mad at me but it didn't matter because Jake was happy. That was all that mattered. Good luck.
