Bittersweet

Well, my little lady has dropped her night feed. She is currently still sleeping soundly, 9 hours after she (finally) got off to bed. This will be her second successive night "sleeping through". She was previously sleeping 5 or 6 hours at a stretch, but now she has extended this to 8 or 9!
It's odd, but I didn't mind the night feeds, especially once they dropped to 1 a night. It was so lovely being able to get up and settle Jessica and fill that little tummy up again, and then watch her drift back off to sleep! I guess we still sometimes get to see that at night, though.
Hopefully we will get to the health centre sometime soon (our nurse is sick so today's appointment had to be postponed); I am keen to learn how much weight she has gained, so I can be confident that she really is doing well. There's lots of "output" though, so I think she is just fine...
Picked up some work this past week, also, which is great; I really love the work, it is a very nice way of making some extra money! I am finding it a bit difficult to make the time to do it, though; often I only manage an hour or 2 a day. 2 hours would be sufficient (to get the work done), but it's hard to scrape that together sometimes! Jessica is playing independently for a little while each day, so perhaps I could use some of that time for work. However (and this was plaguing me at 4 this morning) I don't want to miss any of her baby time, so would rather spend that time just watching her. I'm sure I can work something out....
Looks like a lovely day today, so I am hoping to give Jessica some fresh air on the deck this afternoon. She just loves looking at all the leaves - maybe I will get a couple of photos too!
