9 Week Growth Spurt

I wasn't expecting another growth spurt until three months but she sure is in the midst of another one this week. I realized this yesterday when she started eating every two hours in the morning. The night before that she was eating nearly every hour starting at 3:00. I thought that was due to the fact that she was sleeping so much later and needed to tank up. It may be a combination of the two. Either way, she has all the signs: increased appetite, sleepiness, and some crankiness. I hope this is a short one because she is wearing me out. It zaps a lot of my energy to feed her so much. I think I've lost another pound this week.

In other news, I had to let go of my job yesterday. Tim and I have had some discussion recently regarding my going back to work and him working from home and we both realized that it just wouldn't work. Claire requires a lot more attention than he can give her while he is working.

I went to Samford yesterday to buy a used exersaucer for Claire and stopped in at the library for a visit. My boss was very understanding. In fact, she actually said before I did that I probably wouldn't be returning to work. She was so understanding. She has a daughter of her own and knows how much work babies are at this age and how much they need their mothers. I appreciated that.
