I'm going back to work a week from today. Every time I think about it, I get a little choked up. But I'm trying to stay positive and enjoy this last week as much as possible.
Justin and I are still waging war with Roxanne over taking a bottle. We've tried three different bottles so far, and she hates them all equally. I know she will eventually settle enough and take one, since she's not a child to miss meals, but it's tough to see her get so upset. Yesterday I bought some Playtex orthodontic nipples to try, and it would be lovely if those worked, since we have a ton of Playtex drop-ins stuff. I had been buying it up while I was still pregnant, not realizing that it's not always up to parents which bottle will be best... I was planning on buying an Adiri bottle, since they just started carrying them at Babies R Us, but they didn't have any when I went yesterday. They had them a week ago... I know those things sell like hot cakes, so maybe they were sold out. In the end, I would have been frustrated to buy a $12 fancy bottle if Roxanne ended up not liking it anyways. They look cool, and the lactation consultant at Piedmont recommended them, but I'm just not sure.
We also bought diapers for the first time yesterday. Can you believe that? My sister and brother-in-law threw us a diaper shower, and we had enough to last us until now. We actually still have some more from the shower, but we were running low, so we went ahead and bought some more. We've been using Pampers, but bought Huggies last night to try. The Pampers tend to leak with Roxanne, and when she was still in the teeny size, the Huggies were the best for her shape.
Isn't it amazing how much time new parents spend thinking about bottles, diapers and the bodily functions of their baby? I wouldn't trade it for the world.
