I has a sad
The weekend was pretty fun. We went out with my family to celebrate the September birthdays; mine, my baby brother, my aunt, and my grandma. Well, grandma’s is in August, but she was in Cali at the time and we didn’t get a chance to celebrate with her. We went to Olive Garden (shocking I know) and pigged out. They brought us a chocolate cake at the end of the dinner. ::dies and goes to Heaven:: So good.
We bought Little his Halloween costume too! We don’t normally do the Halloween thing, but how could I pass up an opportunity to dress my baby up like a monkey and not have people look at me weird?! It’s so beyond cute, I don’t think there’s even a word for it!
MyLovf bought me a new camera for my birthday, a Samsung W620. This sucker has 12 megapixels, and all the features totally blow my mind! The point and shoot cameras have really come a long way since the last one we bought 3 years ago. I have been taking pics like crazy with it! Alas, I haven’t had the time to upload any of them, but I will tonight, so stay tuned!

Dear Anonymous,
Thank you for the spelling lesson, but you didn't have to be such a snot about it. You’ll be happy to see that I made the suggested change.
I've also disabled anonymous commenting. If you're going to be insulting, you should own it.

I Survived!
Quick recap of my first week back at work, which wasn’t as bad as I feared, but still sucked:
Monday:
The only day I full-on cried when dropping off my sweet baby. It was so hard to give him up that first day. I’ve gotten better with it, but my eyes still get teary when I hand him over.
Tuesday:
I actually don’t remember much of what happened on Tuesday. Aliens must’ve abducted me and erased my memory of the day.
Wednesday:
Little stayed at home with his Daddy. It was their first full day alone together and they did great! This was the only day I had to pump at work. It actually wasn’t too bad; there’s a private room with a recliner that I can use. Now if there was a TV in there, it would be the perfect set up!
Thursday:
Little laughed for the first time! Other stuff happened, but I can't think of anything worth posting after that!
Friday:
Today seems to be a screw-around-at-work day; there’s a potluck scheduled for lunch and a decorated cube contest (football theme), so instead of working, everyone is running around with streamers, banners and balloons!
Little and I are doing really well with our three feedings a day (while at work), and I’ve managed to increase my supply enough to get a good pumping session done in the evening. I have to send a bottle with him in the morning because he’s usually hungry when I drop him off. I don’t think he’s had to supplement all week. I am so proud of my boobs right now, they’ve finally caught up to his demands (took long enough)!

Yesterday wasn’t all together terrible
It wasn’t the best either though. Little decided on Sunday night that he was going to be a pill and was up every hour starting around midnight. I got up at 5 o’clock in the morning and was exhausted. I fed him (crying moment #1) and then pumped right after because I’d read that you have the most milk in the morning. Not so in my case, but I shouldn’t have been surprised, my boobs just don’t do “normal”. I got myself ready while MyLovf, who didn’t have to get out of bed till 6, cuddled with Little (crying moment #2). Then I got my little man ready for his first day of daycare (crying moment #3). We actually left the house on time and I dropped off my sweet baby with the morning teacher (crying moments #4, 5 and 6) and headed off for my first day back at work. I was literally counting down the minutes until I could run across the street and feed him and play a little.
Everyone was really glad to see me back. Probably because they’ve been really slammed since the last round of lay offs in August. Every time someone stopped by my cube, they asked after Little (crying moments #7-15). At 9:30, I ran across the street to see him. I spent probably 20 minutes over there, fed him and put him down for a nap. I did that at 11:30 and again at 2:00. At 3:30 I was out for the day... Oh, I forgot to mention that I’m working a different schedule now. Instead of coming in at 8:00, taking an hour lunch and leaving at 5:00, I come in at 7:00, take a half hour lunch and leave at 3:30. As much as I hate waking up so early, I lovf, lovf, lovf leaving that place at 3:30!
Having him so close is really what is getting me through right now. I have 3 breaks during the day, so I can run over there and spend time with him and kiss and hug on him. He seems to be ok with the arrangement. I found him twice in a swing and then playing on the floor when I walked in the door. The other babies in the room are all so cute! And there is one other that is right around his age. The teachers are really nice and there’s even another baby whose mother works in my building.
As much fun as our current set up is (note sarcasm), we would much rather have me home. We’re working on getting our mortgage modified. We, like most other people, took a substantial hit on our house when the market turned. It’s probably worth 70% of what we paid for it in 2006, so we’re hoping that our mortgage company will give us a break and lower our payments. If we can get it lowered enough, I can stay home. So far, it looks good, but we don’t know how long it will take to get everything squared away. In the mean time, I have to work. We need to keep the roof over our little ones’ head! I cannot wait for the day that I can blow this popsicle stand!
So that’s all for now I guess. Counting down till I get to see my Little again. Only a half hour to go!

I hate:
- That 5am is now part of my day.
- My baby will not be spending his day with me.
- People on the freeway.
- My baby will not be spending his day with me.
- That I've walked back into a complete madhouse.
- My baby will not be spending his day with me.
I've been here a grand total of 15 minutes. I'm ready to go home.
