Long Day

Today was a long day. After setting my alarm at 5:30 I did not climb out of bed until about 6:30. I wanted every ounce of precious sleep Caroline would allow. I prepared all of her bottles while Justin got Caroline ready for the day. Finally about 8:00 we were out the door and headed for the sitter's house. I was very proud of myself. I walked in and put Caroline down. Luckily she was asleep and not crying because I do not think I could have left if she was crying. I briefly talked to her baby sitter (Nanny) and kissed my sweet baby and walked out. When I got to the car I got misty, but I held it together knowing that I only have two weeks until I get to be back with her full time for a while.
All day I was thinking about what Caroline might be doing. Was she eating, sleeping, smiling, crying, was she being held and talked to...was she having a good day or was she fussy? I kept wondering if she was missing me like I was missing her. (Now I know she probably had no idea what was going on, but still I felt like I was abandoning her and I hoped she did not feel the same way) I could not wait to hear all about her day. I made Justin call Nanny about noon just to check in. (I did not want to seem to crazy so I had Justin do the calling) Finally about 3 Justin called and said he was on his way to get her!! He then brought her up to school and we showed her off to a few of my friends at work. Overall, she had a great day. She did not sleep more than 45 minutes at a time...but that is nothing new. Nanny did say she did not spit up much and she was happy most of the day. So it sounds like Caroline had a good day.

On another note, my room looks terrible. I put up this striped material and it is impossible to get the stripes straight. Also, it gives you a headache to look at it for too long. I am definitely going to have to rethink this striped wall.
