  I tried to be the bigger person and invited my MIL over for a visit. Alone. When DH wasn't home. She's constantly complaining to everyone that she never sees DS (even though she's seen him about once a week since he was born). Anyway, I invited her over and she came for about an hour on Tuesday. Even though she woke DS up when I specifically said he needed to nap while she held him, I held it together and was a gracious host. And now that I've done this once I'm hoping I can continue to be the bigger person and tolerate regular visits.

  Today was my first day back at work and I didn't want to cry the entire time!!! Woohoo! It actually surprisingly felt nice to do adult things and be able to pee and eat without a crying baby. And I was so nervous about pumping at work but it wasn't a big deal st all. So relieved! I cried a few times before leaving in the morning and had to fix my make up a few times though. That being said I am soooo excited to go home and see my little one!!!! Almost there!

  DD slept in the crib for the first time last night and it went well! I was afraid she would get up a bunch, but she slept like she normally did in the RnP. I'm hoping she continues to do well because o go back to work on Monday.

  @gtellier - any words of advice on baby nails? That is my least favorite thing to do and I am terrible at it.

  @blairdavis99 this works for me, hopefully it helps! 1.) right clippers. Safety 1st brand- love them! 2.) baby sleeping (after feeding usually) 3.) hand position (this was my trial an error phase). I use my thumb to keep the finger in place, and with my index, I push the skin under her nail back a little (to not clip the cuticles), and clip. (P.s excuse MY nails in the pictures, I need a manicure lol)

  Took the dog and the baby (in a stroller) on a 5k walk to the park by myself! My dog is a bit of a nut so this was something we were working up to for a while
