I started back to work this week. For me, it was a pretty easy week of setting up the classroom and getting ready to start school. I found out a couple of weeks ago that I wouldn't have to change grade levels, so my stress level went down a little bit.
It was not such an easy week for my children because they had to get back into the schedule of going to daycare everyday. It was a lot easier for Alexander than I thought it would be. He walked right into his babysitter's house and got right back into the routine. Julia had a much rougher week. She didn't understand what was happening. On Monday, she didn't eat all day. She didn't take any bottles and didn't eat any baby food. I felt bad for her, but I felt especially bad for her teacher who wanted to get her to eat so badly. Then for the rest of the week, she refused to take a bottle. We tried everything! I took a cup and a different bottle. We gave her formule instead of breastmilk. Nothing worked. I got really worried that she wasn't going to get the nutrients that she needs. However, her babysitter is AWESOME and mixed formula and breastmilk into her baby food, so she managed to get between 3 and 5 ounces a day.
Then today, she was home with me and she didn't drink very much, so I don't think that she was missing a lot of feedings at daycare. I have decided that I'm not going to worry about it anymore. If her doctor thinks it is a problem, he will tell us and hopefully, he will have a solution to the problem.
Maybe this week won't be a rough either! Let's hope!
