Today was my first day back to work and overall it went great. I am going to have to get used to just how much STUFF the baby and I are lugging around though – today was especially bad since I had to transport my entire office set up back to work. Baby has a lunch box to take to “school” and changes of clothes and burp cloths and bibs etc. I have my own “lunch box” and shoulder bag for all the pumping stuff as well as anything I actually need for myself. 

Kiddo moved to a bigger pack n play last night – total Stoopy Mommy move to change things up the night before we had to really get up and go for work etc. Baby now has LOTS of space and slept til 4:30 this morning in her new bed.

Of course, being up at 4:30 was that magical time that didn’t allow for me to go back to sleep but DID allow for her to have two breakfast meals before we left the house. It was a nice slow morning, though, and I suppose now I understand why people enjoy getting up early. Not enough to do it myself on purpose, though, so here’s hoping kiddo stays in bed til 5 or 5:30 tomorrow.

Pumping at work is going to be a challenge, but I hope to get into a better groove tomorrow – the day flew by with all the things I was busy doing. Kiddo did great as usual at daycare and even ate a little bit less voraciously than she has been (maybe she’s getting more comfortable there).

My friend Angie, the CFO went to visit and sent this photo.

I’m proud to say I got her to daycare on time and myself to work early and picked her up early as well (before the final bell at least!) – I really surprised myself at how MUCH I wanted to go get her when the clock hit 5. 

Day One: in the bag. Here we come Day Two.
