First Day Recap

I made it!  It wasn't terrible but I can't say it was great. Max was up every 2 hours that night so I was pretty exhausted when 5:45AM rolled around. I made it out of the house on time and with some of my sanity intact and a cup of coffee down my gullet. I didn't even cry....until I swiped my badge and the reality sunk in.

When I sat down at my desk, I laughed when I saw my daily Dilbert calendar.

 Even funnier, the last day I worked was March 18.

Then I attacked my massive pile of emails.

And drank more coffee.

Then I pumped.

The picture updates from Saint Renee the Patient helped.

A surprise visit and care package from dear friend, Godmother of Max and baker extraordinaire, Alison also helped.

Inside were Twizzlers, Doritos, chocolate, stress balls, a card, voodoo doll and apples! She's amazing.

Then I pumped again.

Alison and I were able to meet our friend Rebecca who doing some clinical work for nursing school for lunch in the cafeteria . Hooray for friends!

The rest of the day was a blur of "welcome backs" and playing catch up. And more pumping. When 4PM rolled around, I dashed home ready for cuddles, kisses and a few dozen verses of "If You're Happy and You Know it".

Before I could blink it was bath time and bedtime.It came way to soon.

I survived.  I might just be able to do this after all.
