Does it get better?

Well, I got through the first week of going back to work..but people say the first week is the worst but I'm still dreading the next week just as bad. I do admit that it was nice to get out of the house everyday and get back into a routine but if I could only bring Braylea with me!
Braylea did adjust very well with the new routine. She sleeps most of the morning for my aunt and then usually stays awake most of the afternoon. She is pretty consistent with eating 4 1/2 to 5 oz each feeding every 2 1/2 to 3 hours. I was nervous about how much she eats at first because I wasn't producing all of that in one session of pumping but that has definitely increased and I have no problem with the supply.
Not being around her 24/7 has made me see a lot of changes in her just in one week. She is focusing on people much better, cooing a lot more, smiling at you if you are smiling and talking to her and she is growing like a weed! I'm real curious as to how much she weighs and her length. We have her 2 month checkup at the end of this month..yes, she is almost 2 months old..insane.

We had a pretty good weekend but went way too fast! Friday night we went out to eat with Kari and Tricia; Saturday Kari, Braylea and I went to Joplin to shop(I bought my first pair of non-prego jeans!); and today we went to church and then I made dinner for Bryson's parents and sister. Now back to the normal routine..fun fun

Just got done eating..she's happy!
Getting ready to go to church..doesn't look too excited, huh?! lol
Sticking her tongue out at me..trying to tell me that enough is enough with the pics, Mom.
