Back to Work!

Well ladies and Gentlemen, it's that time.  10 weeks (8 with Elijah and 2 prior to his arrival) have flown by.  I knew it would come fast, but I couldn't fathom just how fast they really would be.  The most scary thing is that Elijah is 2 months old (well Thursday he will be, but in weeks he is 2 months today- Friday)!  They say when you have kids time seems to fly even faster, well they are right!  Now it's only 8 months until he is one year!  UGH! Let's not think about that, I am really enjoying him as a baby!

So.  Back to Work.  This comes with a ton of emotions.  Some excitement, for stepping back in to life prior to Elijah, but mostly discontentment.  I knew it would be difficult to go back to work and each day leading up to now I have felt that even more.  I realize that millions of women do this, but I truly wonder how it is that they do do it?

I am tired, especially in the mornings (and you all know I am not a morning person) and have been dozing off for an hour or two while E sleeps. So how on earth am I going to function at work?!  Three shots of Espresso before I go in and at lunch?!  It will be as bad or worse than the first trimester of pregnancy when I would go sleep in my car during lunch break and drag my butt back in to work each afternoon wishing for my nice, warm, comfy bed!

Not only am I tired, but I don't want to miss any of Elijah's "firsts".  I got to see him smile for the first time back in May and I don't want to miss his first laugh, or crawl, or step or anything!

The best thing though is that Aaron is here to watch him.  So I know he is in good hands and that he is bonding with "daddy" which is super special.

So that is that.  I am going back to work on Monday.  Wish me luck people, I will need it!
