Monday was my first day back at work and I had mixed emotions. I wanted to see some of my co-worker/friends but I did not want to take the wee one to daycare.
The morning started off early though Riley was great and woke up around the time we had planned to wake up around 5am. We ate, took showers and the whole family went out the door between 620-630am. whew never thought I would be up and ready and out on the road that early but there we were. ;)
The drive up to my new office and her daycare went well but my old office in Factoria that only took 10 minutes has turned into 30-40 and it sucks!
I finally got the the daycare and spent an hour there doing paperwork and going over all the notes they had me take about Ry's routine. I nursed her and then I was on my way. I was so sad. I did not cry but my eyes were watery for sure.
So after I nursed her i put her in a bouncy chair expecting her to cry but nope she sat there quietly watching the other babies. So here I was all upset and she could give a rat's butt.
I drove away and that was the hardest part. I looked in my rear view mirror to see an empty car seat and I wanted to cry!!! But I drove the other 10-15 minutes to work and it passed.
It was good to see all of my old friends and and co-workers and my new office. Unfortunately I had major computer issues and was not able to do a damn thing. That continued through today (Weds) and I just was able to get up and going and still have no work yet. I should not complain, but I feel so useless with nothing to do! Anyways I got to the office Monday and spent most of it doing what? of course decorating my cube with pictures of the wee one. I mean come on i had to right? :)
So Monday after work was the happiest. I cruised over to daycare to pick her up half expecting either cries or smiles.... and I got the big fat goose egg on both. NOTHING! She kept looking around me to see the other babies. WTH? I see where I rank.... much behind the baby boys at daycare apparently. She barely noticed I was there and when we left she seemed annoyed I took her away from them.
This continued Tuesday when I picked her up and today when I dropped her off she smiled at least but again was enthralled with the babies.
Now I know this is a great thing. Don't get me wrong I would rather have this then the crying/screaming baby. But I would love to see a smile when mom shows up after a long day. Ho hum.
Oh this morning was fun. Andy got up with her around 430 to feed her a bottle of formula which she drank it all. Well after waiting as long as i could I had to feed her to relieve the pressure in my boobs so I had to feed her around 615 thinking she would be hungry again I mean it was almost 2 hours. Apparently not because EVERYTHING and it's mother came up ALL over me. I was covered in baby puke. She just puked and puked and after? just sighed. HAHAHAH
Dad came to the rescue cleaned her up and I had to go and wring my clothes out before finding another outfit. Oh the joys of motherhood. :)
Other updates and stuff.... hmmm... we had our 3rd baby shower last weekend in which i hosted. It was a great time! It was for my friend Carrie who hosted my shower at her house. We had some good food made by Cecily, a few fun games and a great time with the Football crew. We have 2 more showers that I know of right now and I think we maybe done with babies!
Crazy baby times around here..... don't drink the water!
