This week was one of the craziest of my life — right up there with our move from Chicago to New York when I was just three weeks old! Dad was still at his friend’s bachelor party, so Mom and I made our first trick to Dominick’s together.
Dad, Nana, & Grandpa Yagan arrived at amost the exact same time, right before dinner. It was definitely a stressful night, because the next day was Mom’s first back at work, Dad had to travel for work, and I was going to be spending the whole day with Nana and Grandpa.
When Monday morning came around, Mom and I executed the plan we had practiced the previous week. Mom fed me and I hung out with her while she got ready to go to work. I made it a little bit easier for her to leave by going back to sleep after I ate. When I finally woke back up – Mom was gone! I was sad at first, but excited to get to hang out with Nana and Grandpa.
They definitely put a lot of energy into learning my schedule and making sure to keep me active and entertained all day. Nana and I went for a walk to Wicker Park (during which I took a nice nap) in the morning and Nana was all over tummy-time (I thought I’d get out of that!). It was definitely strange to get used to a new feeding schedule, both since I ate from a bottle all day and because we’re all still trying to figure out how much I’m supposed to be eating!
All-in-all, the week ended up going much better than anyone could have expected! Nana and Grandpa seemed to really enjoy hanging out with me and I really enjoyed having so much attention. I’m so lucky to be in such good care.
Mom got home and was expecting me to jump up and down to see her, but since I can’t jump and down, I pretty much just kept going with my day rather than giving her the props she was hoping for!
Tuesday morning was a bit harder for Mom to leave because I was up and happy when she had to walk out the door. Nana and I headed out to the park at 7:20! Talk about being a morning person. The day went pretty smoothly otherwise, as did Wednesday. The week definitely went really really well and I think everyone involved is relieved and relaxed to have it behind us and excited to get into a routine.
