Back to Work

 On Monday, December 12 I went back to work and Amelia started daycare.

It was a sad sad day for me.

 I got up early and got myself all ready. I wanted to make sure that I had enough time to get some extra snuggles with Amelia. You can see how "excited" I am to go back. Oh how i wish we were rich and I could stay home with Amelia.

 Amelia slept like an angel! She woke up around 4 to eat. So, I kept her in our bed after that. I just wanted to spend as much time as I could with her. Even after we both got up, she continued to sleep soundly in our bed! (excuse the mess)

 When I woke her up, she was SUPER HAPPY! We spent some time getting all lotioned up and dressed. She was SO HAPPY and talked to me almost the whole time!

 She was SO SMILEY! I think that made it even harder to drop her off!

 I was so glad I gave us lots of extra time. She nursed for a while, then we just had a nice long snuggle. I mostly cried, and she smiled at me. I think she was trying to tell me it was all right, that she still loved me, even if I couldn't be home with her all day.

After our snuggle Andrew buckled her into her car seat and we were ready to to.

Mom called me as we were on the way out the door to see how i was doing. I ended up crying so hard I couldn't even talk to her. 

Look at my beautiful, happy baby! I missed her SO MUCH all day. I did go in and see her and nurse her every 2 hours, but it just is not enough.

I have now been back to work for 2 weeks. Ann and Crystal are SO good with Amelia and I know they love her! She gets spoiled by them as well as Chelsea and especially Kara (she and Amelia share a b-day!)! It is a little easier to drop her off in the morning, i don't cry anymore, but I still miss her SO MUCH.

My hope is that one day (really soon) I will be able to stay home with her. I don't want to miss ANYTHING.
