Prior to lounging around semi-naked, I had Elise in the shower with me. She absolutely, positively loves her bath time and all things water! Whether in her own little bathtub in the sink, in the bathtub or shower with her mommy, or sitting on a towel in the sink at Grandpa & Nana's, bath time is definitely one of her favorite times of day.
First Bath at the Hospital
Next Monday I am going back to work. However, Jason and I have decided that I will give them my notice when I go back and will stay at home with Elise for a while. I am very relieved that we won't be taking her to daycare while she is so small. When I took her to her doctor a couple weeks ago, I had to have a paper signed by the doctor stating she was cleared to go to daycare. Well, the nurses made a big deal about her going before having her 2 month shots which she won't get until the first part of January. The nurses told me about all the things that would happen if she were to start running a fever from being at daycare including an immediate spinal tap. They asked me if I had any alternatives to taking her to daycare so early. Now that won't be an issue. We will of course have to make some sacrifices, but it will be worth it.
Tomorrow Elise and I are going to Lubbock to see our old neighbors. Alexis had her little girl, Scout on November 12. One day after my original due date. Tomorrow will be our first time to meet her. It will be nice for us to get out of the house for a day. It has been so cold here, I haven't bothered getting out much. Before it got so cold, I was taking Elise for walks in her stroller around the neighborhood. Maybe I'll have to join the marathon moms at the mall that I have seen pushing their strollers at high rates of speed. But then again, I probably couldn't keep up with them. It's hard to window shop walking that fast. Jason probably wouldn't want me up there too often anyway, as it could be detrimental to the checking account. The hospital I delivered at offers a Breastfeeding Support group that meets one Tuesday each month. It's an opportunity to meet other mom's, weigh your baby, and get any advice and share experiences. I missed the November one, but the next one is next Tuesday and I think I may go and see what it's all about.
This Friday is Jason's Christmas Party so Lori is coming over to babysit and then again the following Friday for my Christmas party... that is of course if they still let me come.
Looks like the little peanut is waking up, which is probably good so she will sleep tonight. Her butt's probably cold too. I hope to keep my blog updated regularly so check back often for the latest on Elise!
