Back To Work I Go...

Well, the time has finally come for me to go back to work. I cannot tell you how quickly time has flow by. It seems just like yesterday I was being induced and getting ready to meet our little Josephine. The last three months have been nothing short of pure joy and delight. Spending every moment ( or most moments) with her has been the most rewarding time of my life. I don't think any first time mom really knows what to expect when leaving the hospital despite what everyone tells us.

I know I've said it before, but she really is the best baby. Nick and I have been so lucky and she made my maternity leave a breeze. So back to work I go, and its not going to be easy- thank god Nick is dropping her off in the mornings, I don't think I'd be able to hand her over. So we will get through this short first week and settle into a new routine.

Things Josie has taught me in three short months

  • Patience, patience, patience--this is something that was severely lacking in my life but since having her I have all the patience in the world (when it comes to her- with the dogs not so much)
  • Always greet family and friends with a smile
  • Take naps
  • Schedules change and that's OK
  • Be more flexible
  • There is always time for The Price is Right
  • Slow down and take in your surroundings
  • Be sure to burp and poop after eating- you'll feel much better :)

On another note- she slept 9.5 hours last night!!!!

heading next door :)
