Hi ho, Hi ho...


...it's off to work I go! I started back to work today. The day I never wanted to arrive. Ok, so I shouldn't say "never". I had a good day at work today! It really was good to be back, even though I couldn't show up to work with my baby strapped to my chest! But it sure was hard to leave my dear Isabella this morning! :( I didn't cry...today. I cried last night after I put her to bed, just thinking about how when we woke up the next day, I wouldn't be staying home with her anymore. But it sounds like she had a good day, first with Nick and then with Crystal. I think that she ate pretty well throughout the day but she didn't sleep too much. She did a lot of eating and napping once we got home today. And I put her to bed early because she was really tired. She is going to do just fine! It is just me with the emotional attachment. I really missed her today. Especially when I called Nick and she was babbling in the background. But it was fun to be back at work. I've got a to-do list a mile long, and it feels good! I ate lunch today with a bunch of fun people...I actually got to use BOTH HANDS (Covell, if you're still out there, I hope this reference didn't escape you) when I ate my lunch. Usually I have baby in one hand and fork in the other. I'm a messy eater anyway, so you can imagine how much worse it is when I'm on the couch with the plate on my left side...so two-handed eating is a luxury that I will be able to enjoy every day at lunch now. It will certainly be a challenge to balance motherhood with a career, but I can do it. Especially when I have the summer to look forward to!
