Well, here we are, a month after I quit working. My report on our new arrangement is that it is going very well. I'm not sure if it's because Erin is now a month older or if it really is due to taking her out of day care, but she is MUCH happier and calmer. She doesn't fuss and scratch at her face/ears nearly as much as before, she is eating better, she's a little less clingy, and she is just all-around happy, which of course makes us happy. Similarly, it could be because I'm in the second trimester now, or maybe because I'm not working, but I FINALLY feel less exhausted and can stay up past 8pm (but not past 9pm - keep in mind that we are all up by 6am on most days)! Bob would never admit it, but I know he is enjoying having less asked of him at home too. Life is good!
So, we feel like we did the right thing. I do miss working as a nurse and hope to go back as soon as possible. But, for now, this is so much easier for us, and Erin and I are staying busy around here between errands, chores, playing with friends, getting ready for Christmas, going to the library, etc. Bella seems pleased too, so that just seals the deal!
We had lots of fun at cookie fest this weekend - we may have left our camera in Concord, but here are a couple pictures that I stole from Aunt Leslie:
