MIA - sorry long (+Mommymonday PIP)

Hi girls,

I'm sorry I've been MIA but I started working again last Wednesday and immediately had my 3day stretch of working days. Sam goes to daycare on Wed&Thur and although he sleeps & eats well, he's not really adjusted to it just yet (but hey, its only been 2 days right). He finds it hard to keep himself occupied (well the little guy is only 15weeks old...) and enjoys being held a bit to much. Which the ladies at the daycare obviously don't have the time for. Even though its small groups (12 children max for 2-3 caregivers) its different than at home.

On Fridays DH is home, and they had a good day. But Sam had to get his 3 months shots, so he wasn't feeling too well this weekend. On top of that I had a spur-of-the-moment concert on Saturday night and we worked in the garden for most of Sat&Sun.

Then yesterday I started my first "full" week at work. I'm only working 4 days, so luckily I'm home today. My inlaws and parents take turn babysitting on Monday, and it was my inlaws turn yesterday. But poor Sam has a cold and didn't drink too well yesterday.

Which continues on today. He should be around 5-6oz per bottle, and I'm lucky if I can get him to drink 4oz per bottle. On top of that he spits up and coughs during feeding, so the poor kid really isn't feeling too well. His temp is 100.9 so its elevated, but nothing too serious. Hopefully the temp will go down for his daycare days tomorrow and Thurs. If he's not feeling better by Friday, DH will take him to the doc. Luckily, aside from not eating well, Sam doesn't seem to mind him being sick too much. He still rolls over to his belly, he still smiles and talks to the stuffed animals on his babygym, he's just a bit more fussy around his feeds. I really do feel I've got one of the easiest babies on the planet. My little boy really is my world!

Ah, and then for the "mommy-part". Going back to work really is taking his toll. I've decided to stop looking for a new job (at least for a while). I'm just too exhausted to fit it into my schedule. I'm also coping better with the current work-issues, b/c I just care less about it since having Sam. And for the past 3 months I thought having another baby would be awesome, and I still want another baby, I just don't want another right this minute. B/c oh my I'm sooo tired! I loved my SAHM-status that came with the maternity leave, but now I'm back to work, that's a whole new ballgame. Unfortunately, money-wise we just can't afford me being a SAHM. If we could, I definitely would!

I guess thats my update for today! And since I missed the Mommy-Monday yesterday, here's a pic of my lovely little boy! It was taken when he was 2 months old, when we visited my friends who went camping and invited us for a barbecue in the woods.
