Back at work

Well, I have been back to work for 2 weeks now and I have to say it is not that bad. I am surprised by that because when Sonia was born I did not go back to work until she was about 5 months old. It is very different from Sonia because I had to leave Sonia with strangers at a day care center in CT while I traveled to MA for my job. I worked 10-6 so Rich had to pick Sonia up. This time, my mom is taking care of Nicholas and I feel so much more at ease. I am not woried all the time and I can go to her house to see him on my break.
The parents have all welcomed me back and are happy that I am back. The kids have acted like I never left and to be honest I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing.
I sleep pretty good. Nicholas gets up once in the middle of the night and then just about the time I need to get up to take a shower so that works out well.

work after maternity leave

Today was a busy day for myself and Nicholas. Nicholas had his 2 month doctor appointment. It went very well. He now weighs 11 lbs 5 oz and is 22 1/2" long. His doctor was very pleased with his progress. We decided to call Early Intervention to get him evaluated. I have a few concerns and the doctor agrees with me. He was on a CPAP machine at birth and then 4 weeks later was intebated for 8 days so her and I want to make sure everything is developing on time.

As for me, I started work again after being off for 10 weeks. I started late around 12:30 because of the DR's apointment. I have to admit, it felt like I hadn't even been gone. Some of the kids who are 3 years old by the way; decided to try to test me but that is normal. Overall it was a great day.

Nicholas is with my mom for when I am at work and that puts my mind at ease!
