Pity Party

Well, this was my first full week back at work. The beginning of the week went well for baby & me. Wednesday was a little rough for the little guy and Thursday was a little rough for me. Tears were shed and not just from the baby. Luckily, John could tell in my voice I was upset & met me for lunch on Thursday. His plan was to bring the baby, but of course, he fell asleep for his nap right at lunch. So just John met me, but that helped too. I've talked to all my working mom friends and they all said it gets easier. I hope their right.

I can't believe how much there is to get done after work each day. Spend time with baby, spend time with each other, feed dogs, try to pay attention to the dogs, wash all the bottles & pump stuff for the next day, get bottles poured & ready for next day, bathe baby, bathe myself, cook dinner or find dinner, clean up dinner, clean up house, get coffee ready for next day, feed baby, put baby to bed, oh and try to take some time for yourself & relax. And what if I have errands to run? Or what if I wanted to actually run? Overwhelming.

I'm sure we will figure it out & get in a groove. It just seems like a lot right now. I am so thankful for my mom & Bev. They have helped us out a TON this week!!! I'm also thankful for this three day weekend. Tonight John made us dinner & the baby was out at 9:00.

Maybe things are already getting easier! ;)
