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!
