Back to work

Today was my first day back to work after being off for 8 weeks maternity leave. I've been trying to figure out how that 8 weeks went by so fast. The only explanation I can come up with is the fact that our baby girl has her own schedule. Unfortunately, it does not coincide with the rest of us :). It is 10:oo pm right now, and she has just woken up. She will be up until about 3 am or so and then sleep the rest of the day waking up for a bottle maybe twice until 10 tomorrow night. The good thing about that is that she was not aware that she was in a "new" place today, the bad thing about that is that mama and daddy get to go to work exhausted! We have been totally blessed with a daycare center that is filled with loving caregivers and is a block away from mine and Grant's offices.
Anyway, back to my first day of work... It went pretty well considering I slept a total of 4 hours last night. I was definitely missed! I was greeted with a great big pile of work on my desk. Don't get me wrong, I love the work that I do and the people I work with, but it's not the same as sitting at home and snuggling with my baby girls!
I went at lunch to see how Ella was doing and of course she was asleep, so we sat in the rocking chair for a bit. On the way out though, Danielle caught a glimpse of mama trying to sneak out without a scene. That didn't work out so well for me. I made it about 2 steps past her door before I heard the cries :(. I had plenty of time, so I went back and played with her for a little bit until it was nap time. Which is what I did when I came home, and now it's time for Miss Ella to wake up and want to be entertained. The things we do for our kids :). I wouldn't give up a single minute of it!
