Trying to get back into a routine

Kiera started daycare with Cael on Monday, and it seems to have gone pretty well! Cael said "it was fun", so I guess it must not have been too bad! She was pretty exhausted yesterday when we got home from daycare, and slept pretty well last night!

Cael and Kiera are now sharing a room. We decided to brave it out, and see what happens. We put Kiera down after Cael is asleep, and try to get to Kiera before she starts crying too loudly and wakes Cael in the middle of the night. It seems to be going pretty well, with Kiera getting up once a night to eat...not bad! I can handle that when I go back to work. However, when they both wake up in the night and "need" mommy, that is more difficult. The other morning, Cael woke up before Kiera and said "baby awake?" as he was standing on the base of the crib looking in at her. No, she wasn't awake, but she woke up very quickly after!

I return to work on Thursday, and kind of looking forward to it, but kind of not! I am finding it difficult to get out of bed when the kids are both still sleeping, but that is going to have to change! I will want to get up before them, I just need to force myself to do it! My time home with the kids has been amazing, and something I will cherish forever (12 weeks went way too fast!) I am looking forward to the kids getting into a routine of going to daycare to play with other kids full time. I am not looking forward to the new weekend rotation (every 4th weekend, the full weekend), but I guess it comes with working in a hospital!

Kiera likes to be in the bathroom during Cael's baths...must be the warm temperature!

Go Packers Go! Cael loved being able to watch TV while eating...very special treat! Our own Super Bowl party!!
