Another busy newsroom day

I woke up when Jordan woke up this morning… 6:50. Later than I expected… But probably because she only slept every 3 hours last night. Yuck. But hey, it happens sometimes.

Anyway. When I woke up, I had to be at the station in an hour. So in about 40 minutes, I had to get out of the door. That’s very fast. But somehow I got Jordan fed and dressed, Cam dressed and fed (thanks to Randy’s help) and I even had time to get dressed… No time to make sure I looked okay, but you can only do so much in such little time. I pulled it off.. I was amazed that I could get out the door on time for an 8:00 meeting. I taught a group of students a computer system that they’ll need if they report or work on web stories for the newsroom. Jordan slept the whole time.

After that, we returned home, I fed her and we fell asleep for a couple of hours. I would have missed my next training session at the station if today hadn’t been the day for the tornado alarm test that goes off at noon once a month. I rushed out of the house again… This time I pumped enough for Jordan to take a bottle at the station.

So today was the day… She actually drank from a bottle. She did a good job. Of the 6 ounces, she drank about 3 and a half. She gagged a little, but she started figuring it out. I know she drinks more with me… And it sucks to throw out anything I’ve pumped for her. She was a trooper. So I think about the whole bottle thing… It makes us a step closer to her going to daycare. That’s kind of sad. I’m already preparing her for leaving me during the day. And she’s five weeks old tomorrow!! I don’t think I’m mentally ready for that yet!
