It has definitely been an adjustment. It was actually pretty great the first two weeks or so. Sure we had our ups and downs. She was fussy the first few nights home, but we started supplementing with formula and she started sleeping (and eating) like a champ. I was worried about this week because my husband left for his summer tour on Tuesday and I knew that I would be by myself in a few short days. Although, I did have a reprieve as my BFF was in town from Wednesday-Saturday. She was awesome, I think it really helped to ease me into being alone for the remainder of the summer.
Tonight is my first night completely by myself. I have to admit, I've already cried, mostly because I miss my husband. But it's scary to be by yourself with this completely helpless and dependent human being. I'm sure tonight will be fine, as will the rest of the summer, but none the less I'm nervous. I just have about 3 nights to make it until the hubs comes home for about two nights.
My plan to make it through is to get into a nice routine. Not sure exactly what that is going to be yet, but I'm sure it will fall into place when she becomes a little more regular with everything. I know that routine will include naps for myself (which I haven't really been doing), walking at least once a day, a bath for Sofia, and a shower for me, and maybe even an outing every few days. I definitely don't want to be stuck in my house everyday all day. I'd go crazy.
Well, that's it for now. I've got a post coming up with some pictures, but I need more time for that one.
