Back to Work..Busy Week!

Well Monday was my first day back to work.  Since I had a c-section I took 8 weeks off of work.  Ethan's daycare is only about 4-5 blocks from the house so that is very nice. 



Monday started off awful! Ethan and I both fell back asleep after my alarm went off about 7:00.  My sister called us at 7:49 am to see how dropping Ethan off at daycare was...well needless to say, THANK YOU MELISSA for calling because that woke up me up.  I quickly changed Ethan and put him in some clothes for the day and drove to daycare.  On the short drive to daycare Ethan was making lots of noises so I just talked with him...I love his littles coos :-) When we got to daycare I was still doing really good...happy about the thought of going back to work and Ethan making friends at daycare.  As I was talking with the daycare ladies in the infant room ... 2 other babies started to cry and as those 2 babies cried it hit me...I wouldn't be there to comfort him when he cries during the day! What is he going to do! I tried very hard to fight back the tears, but low and behold, I started crying.  The day care ladies were so comforting...assuring me it was absolutely normal to cry on the first day because he is your baby and this is your first full day apart etc etc etc....  By the time I got home from dropping him off...I was 5 minutes late to work...5 minutes late on my first day back! ei yi yi yi!!!



I had to run up to the daycare on my lunch break to bring more breastmilk because since I just recently started pumping I'm not producing a ton of pumped milk for Ethan and when I went up there he was sleeping so i didn't bother him :-).  We are now on day 4 of daycare and he is doing awesome! The ladies at the daycare love him and he seems to be doing really good. 



On Tuesday night, Ethan and I went with Great Grandpa Wally to Elkhorn to his sister Helen's house to see my second cousin Allison and her baby girl Ava.  Ava was born about a week before Melissa's baby was born so she is about 4 months old.  It was so fun seeing her with a baby! Allison's sister also had a baby so the 4 of us cousins had babies all at the same time...Allison had her little girl first, then Melissa had Elizabeth, Jennifer had a little girl, and then I ended the "Cousin Baby Boom" with Ethan...I was the only one that had a little boy!
