how did the baby do when you went back to work

It's Friday...we've almost made it through our first week! I'm so ecstatic! Even more so because my babe's day at DC yesterday was great. I went to pick her up and looked at the report that I get that tells all about her day, and only saw one nap listed. I thought great, she's going to be exhausted tonight and I'm going to get no awake time with her. That one nap was 3 HOURS AND 45 MINUTES! And we seem to be getting into a great groove of them feeding her and then putting her down for a nap right away in the morning. I am pumped that my babe seems to be taking well to the stay up late sleep late schedule. I know I can't possibly be that lucky two days in a row...but hey at least I had a great smiley time with her yesterday evening. We can do this ladies!!

ETA I thought great sarcastically. I want as much awake time with her in the evening as possible!! Just to clarify.

Tomorrow's my first day back. I'm grateful DH is being a temporary SAHD but I'm still sad to be leaving them for 10 hours during the day DH also has only watched them a few hours by himself. His family JUST left after a too long visit so he's already tired. Gah.

Today was my first day back at work.  my mom watched lo and they had a great time.  I on the other hand was a wreck...literally.  i crashed my car in the parking garage at work because i was so excited to go pick up lo.  it took me 2.5 hrs to get home because the trafffic was horrible.  she was awake for 1 hr and i cried hysterically the entire time because i missed her so much.  now i have to pump and go to bed and start the day again at 4:45.

I quit my job. It socks that we won't have the extra money and I'll miss the adult interaction. I could not do it. I spent only 1 hr with her yesterday evening and I cried the entire time. The worst part was telling my mom she would not be watching her. She got so sad. I feel bad but the baby needs her mom.
