What, you are back to work? Then how are you writing this blog at 9am, you ask? Well, I'm working from home today. This is a bit of a transition week for me and I already put in 40 hours this week. I've been incredibly busy trying to get caught up after 8 weeks off. I have 4 pages of to do lists. I work in Corporate Responsibility and LOVE my job, otherwise I think I would feel completely overwhelmed.
Don't get me wrong, it's not all great. First, I have to get up at 3am and 6am and then get both myself and my baby ready. Then I have to drop him off with the sitter, which leaves me in this weird lethargic mood on the way to work. Luckily, she is a friend of mine and I feel better knowing he's in great hands.
Once I get to work, I have to arrange my schedule so that I can pump 3 times per day. My employer has a room specifically for nursing mothers, but unfortunately, it's a 7 minute walk from my desk (I've timed it). So that means I have to block off 30 minutes, 3 times per day to pump. It makes scheduling meetings difficult.
My goal is to breastfeed him for 6 months. That means I have to keep this up for 4 more months, because yesterday, he turned 2 months old! He smiles and talks so much more. Giggling is my favorite :) I know he recognizes me and my voice. He's still not great at holding his head up when he's on his tummy, but he gives it a good effort. I really never knew I could have this much love for one person, even when he is screaming at 3am.
