Although it was the "first day" I've been back to work for a week now. It's been going so well and I'm SHOCKED. As you know I was very sad/upset/having a slight emotional break-down for many weeks. For at least 2 wks I cried almost every night, not just a few tears. Like full-on-sobbing. My wonderful husband coddled and comforted me every night and made me feel better for me to just fall apart all over again the next evening. I've had plenty of time to pump every day (one of my biggest concerns) and have been super busy w/o being stressed. I feel like it's the perfect job, perfect hours, and perfect place (it's SO close to my mother in law's house and ours)! Landon's seemed very happy (although slightly off schedule) spending extra time with his Daddy and Grammy and that makes me feel SO much better. The best part though...honestly...is that I come home and can breastfeed. It makes me feel SO much better. Landon, he couldn't care less. He will take breast or bottle as long as there's milk coming out of it, he doesn't care. But for me it is a BIG deal. I love that connection with him and need it after being away from him for several hours. To my surprise, I don't feel incredibly guilty or like a horrible mom nearly as much as I thought I would! I don't know what I would do without my fabulous husband or his great mother. They have helped this transition go so smoothly and I've felt really good about things! Please continue to pray for us and that I continue to feel this way! Here's to hoping that the year will fly by!
