Sierra is not yet 6 months old, at least not for a few more hours, and it finally happened. :( She went a full day without nursing one time! :( Please do not misunderstand me. This is not something that I am happy about. In fact, I have been emotionally torn-up about it all day. I have been so busy and to spare you the boring details...the bottom line is this:
Frustratingly (is that a word?)...I did not get my Public School Practicum Placement (say that 10x fast!) until last Tuesday and I need to have all my classroom observation hours in by the end of the quarter (which is next week). So today I was gone...gone...gone....ALL DAY...in the classroom when she woke up, in the classroom when she woke up from her first nap, in the classroom when she woke up from her second nap, and in the classroom when she went to bed. :( (Yes, she nurses/eats 4 times a day). This school thing is rough, I so much prefer being a Mama!
Aside from my emotional scarring and my bonding with the pump instead of my daughter, Brian had a FABULOUS day! They played, they giggled, they bonded over bottles, they read books, they rocked, and they said their prayers - ALL WITHOUT Mommy. It was a great day for Daddy!!!
Hopefully when she wakes up tomorrow she will not forget how much she still does need me! For today though, I learned that she really can live without me, not sure if I can live without her though! Oh, how quickly God allows us to fall in love with something so small!!!

Isn't it amazing how quickly we become attached to these little people? And wonder how on earth did we ever live without them!
Love you!!
