200th Post

I started back to work this week.
God am I tired.
So tired I want to sit in a corner and cry.
Or sleep.
Whatever.
The office is . . . well . . . lets just say that next time I get pregnant I might not take maternity leave.
Nothing is how is should be. I have been cleaning up messes and organizing since I got back.
I have no idea what is going on with my files.
I miss Alivia like crazy.
And she isn't even at the sitter's house yet.
Hubby and I have been working half days each cause she isn't allowed to go to the sitter's till she has her two month immunizations. (Next week)
So I leave her in the morning (and hold back tears all the way to work) and by the time I get home at lunch I want to cry again cause I missed her so much.
Oh, and she totally smiled at me the other. Focused her eyes on me and smiled.
It was thrilling.
Did I mention that I am about to fall asleep with my eyes open?

Awwww berly.....

See now you are loving your daughter. I hear it changes your perspective overnight, being a parent that is.

But yes it will get better. I am 100% sure that you will successfully balance work, home and Alivia.

Aww, my Berle - you're such a good mama! Have I mentioned that I'm so proud of you?!?

I hope being back at work gives you a little bit of time off the stress of taking care of a baby. I don't have a baby but I do have a million things to do and I can definitely relate to the little sleep and complete tiredness. May I suggest coffee and massages?
