Ahhh my little girl is finally getting better.
Over the course of the last six months, I have learned in vivid detail what it is like for women who take a year off work to take care of the children. Let me tell you, I have more compassion and sympathy for these women than I ever did before after having gone through my time this year with Megan. The sleepless nights, crying, fussiness, and everything else is very hard to deal with. I have been pushed to the limits several times.
This morning however it became quite clear that things are in fact getting better. Tamara went off to drop Dylan at the sitter’s and I was home with Megan. She was content for a little while but then began to get a bit cranky. Knowing that she was probably due for a little snooze, I took her into her room, laid her in her crib, and I haven’t heard a peep from her since. This was a very good sign that for one, I’m starting to know her better and two, she’s starting to chill out a bit.
I believe it was Tamara who said that perhaps I should have taken the latter six months off instead of the first. Perhaps as I would have enjoyed the time more, but I am content to know that I spent the first six months of my daughter’s life with her and not at work.
