Back to work

Our sad faces since mommy has to go back to work!

No mommy don't go!!

So it is that time that I have to leave my bean in the hands of someone else. Unfortunately the day I have been dreading is here. I go back to work tomorrow. I love what I do and the people that I work with, but I would much prefer to stay with the bean. When I first told my boss that I was pregnant she told me that after the baby was born that I would start to think of how we could get by on one salary and that I would have my mind more on home and could care less about what happens at work. I replied that I understood what she meant, but now I really understand. I love the nanny or sitter (whatever you want to call her), but it is not the same as mommy. I have had little periods of thinking to myself that it really sucks to have to go back to work, but I just need to get into the swing of things. Now the pressure is on daddy to be at Nate's beck and call until I get home from work. Then of course there is the weekends that I work. Chris is a little scared to be on his own for such a long time, but he is a great dad and just needs to realize it!! Now on to a much happier note. Nate had another first this past weekend. We went to Melanie's 3rd birthday party at the Little Gym. That place is cool. One of the instructors was a little over the top and scary, but overall it was a great party. Everyone got to learn that Nate really does cry though. I think he was a little over stimulated with all the kiddos running around, the music, the colors and all the adults talking. I took him out of the gym part and we watched for awhile through the window. He calmed down and behaved nicely through the opening of presents. Then he nicely spit up down his really cute outfit, my arm and onto the floor. daddy nicely cleaned the mess and I changed Nate into his back up outfit that stays in the diaper bag. Well lately I have been pulling out some of Nate's clothes because he is to long for them. Well that was the case for the back up outfit. Poor kid looked like he was wearing capris. Oh well. We were just heading home at that point. He nicely had a melt down as we were getting ready to get in the car. It was so bad that I rode in the backseat to try to get him to settle down. He finally feel asleep in the car. He had not had a good nap all day and we were paying for it now. He slept from about 6:30 until I fed him his night bottle at 9:30 and then hew slept until 2 am. He was TIRED!!! I really liked the little gym and I got some info on it before I left and I hope to start him in it in the fall. He will be able to start in their first class this summer. They start kiddos st four months if you want. It is all mommy and me stuff until they are 3. So hopefully we will start in the fall when Nate can do more.
