Today is my last day at work before starting 12 weeks of stay-at-home dad leave! I'm just as terrified at the prospect of being alone with Petra so long as I was at having her in the first place (and that certainly turned out well). I live in fear that those things that daddy just can't do to soothe her (read "boob") will lead to endless screaming and flailing. Twice when I've stayed home for a few hours alone with Petra she had huge screaming meltdowns (both related to lack of naps I think, I hope, I pray).
Our plan is for me to get up with mommy in the morning so Petra can tank up and start her morning nap early. Then when she wakes up, I'll take her to UCLA so the three of us can have lunch together. Mommy will be pumping milk at work, so hopefully I'll always have enough at home to keep Petra happy (or at least full). With any luck, the screaming will be kept to a minimum, and Petra will continue to be a fat, happy baby!
