Well, just as quickly as Charlie changed her routine to not sleeping she seems to have changed it to something we can live with. As I type this she is actually asleep in her bouncy seat and not on me! Plus, last night she slept from 7:30 pm to 11:30 pm and midnight to 5 am...in her bassinet!!! I actually had to wake her up at 5 am to feed her. Let's hope something similar to this pattern continues.
Last night was also the first time we left her with a non-family member - for a whopping 15 minutes. I went to my triathlon club meeting and Adam wasn't home from work yet. A co-worker of Adam's came over and watched her for 15 minutes. Tony has a little bit of baby whisperer in him and is great with babies. Plus he loves Charlotte. This was the first time I left Charlotte for something that didn't consist of a quick trip to Target or the grocery store. It was a great feeling!
Another first happened today. I went to the gym to work out. One of the perks of Adam's job at the Y is I can leave Charlotte with him while I work out. Adam's boss recently had a baby and brings her son to work so they are very kid friendly. So kid friendly that when I was done working out and packing Charlotte up to bring her home some co-workers actually asked if she could attend their next meeting.
Back to my workout - I did the elliptical for 30 minutes, RAN FOR A MILE, and did a few minutes of weights. It felt awesome to do some cardio and felt even better to run. My goal is to run a Turkey Trot 5k at Thanksgiving and a 10k on New Year's Day.
