The Deardurff Family: Thanksgiving

Our family headed up to northern Indiana on Thanksgiving to spend the long weekend. Giada did pretty well in the car. Mommy sat in the back with her to keep her entertained when she wasn't sleeping. It took us longer than "normal" of course because we had to stop and feed & change Giada. It was fun getting to introduce Giada to lots of new family members. Our girl has a sleeping routine that was thrown off by our travels so she was a little upset Saturday at her great-grandma's house, but Brian and I think she did really well considering she didn't really get to nap well that day. The only time she really gets upset is when she is tired.
I went into work two half days this week. The first day wasn't too bad, but I cried on the way home the second day. All I could think about was how much later I'll have to stay once I officially go back and it just breaks my heart that I'll spend more time at work with my students than I will at home with my baby. I know it'll get easier once we get into a routine and I will learn to balance work and home. Plus, Giada has been struggling with taking a bottle. We are trying different brands to try and find one she likes. So that adds to my stress when I'm away.
Giada is 4 months old today! My oh my, where did the time go!?!
