Lucky Parents

I might be speaking too soon, but I believe that Brian and I are pretty lucky parents. I mean of course Izzy is the best thing in our lives, but the fact that she has been sleeping 7 to 7 1/2 hours at night is a blessing! I of course called the doctor to make sure that it was ok for a 5 week old child to go that long without a feeding and the medical assistant chuckled and said, "Wow, you're the first to call and ask that question, but of course. She will let you know when she is hungry." Hey, I just wanted to be on the safe side and not feel like I was depriving her from food. :)

She was up at 7am today and just got put down for a nap. We played for a whole straight 2 hours without a fuss. I really think I am getting the hang of this mother duty. It's really going to be hard to drop her off at a sitter in a month. I would keep her home if I didn't have to be on the phone 24/7. I got through breastfeeding, so I am sure I will get through the sadness of leaving her for 8 hours a day, of course I will be thinking about her non-stop, but what mother wouldn't?
