we have been putting it off and putting it off, but with my return to work creeping up on us quicker than i would like to admit, we knew it was time to get serious about introducing Sicilya to the baby bottle! we learned a lot the hard way when Tuscan was a baby and we knew we never wanted to go through the same experience again!
today was the big day! with Sicilya having been so lethargic all day yesterday i was able to pump a few ounces into a bottle for her. so this morning, i headed off to the grocery store by myself!! it was only the second time in 7 weeks that i have ever left the house without her and of course, she slept the whole time i was gone! but we didnt let that stop us. frank warmed up the bottle and fed her as i put the groceries away and she didnt even fight it, not even a little bit! she didnt drink all that was in it (which was disappointing to have to dump the rest down the drain) but i am still so proud of her! she drank enough to feel content and gave me so much peace about having to go back to work. granted i still have 6 more weeks home with her, but we all know how quickly these summer days go by, my first day back will be here before we know it!
I have every intention of taking it one day at a time, enjoying as many minutes with my 4 beautiful babes as i can sneak into a day and worrying about the rest when the time comes! life is to short to live it any other way!
