Well this week is week 3 of me being back to work! It has been non stop and a bit crazy, but has been going really well, all in all. The first week, Stephen's mom watched Sophia during the week and both of his parents watched her the weekend before and after.
The first weekend, Stephen and I took a mini vacation and went to San Antonio overnight and Sea World.
Last week, we did have to get a babysitter, but Stephen actually had a couple days off so between the two of us we were able to take care of her mostly by ourselves. On Wednesday, I had the day off and Stephen's troop did a day jump to practice jumping out of helicopters, and families were encouraged to come, so we did! It was a warm but breezy day, and they had put up a tent, so we were able to stay comfortable and had a great time.

Later the same day, I went to the child care services office and FINALLY made some progress with daycare for Sophia. At this point, I had been waiting 4 weeks to hear back from someone about what services they could provide for her. I had been calling the office at least once a week since I had gone in to tell them I had called everyone on their list and no one had a slot open for her (two weeks before I went back to work). I was offered the services of my choice of two off post civilian day cares who were partnered with Fort Hood, with discounted tuition to make it the same price as the on post day cares. Neither were particularly conveniently located, but I am so relieved to finally have arrangements for her that I don't mind. As long as someone caring and responsible is taking care of my little girl, that is all I need to know right now.
