Back to work, but not missin' a thing!


Thank you all for your prayers as I went back to work today. It was hard leading up to it, but I kept things positive in my mind by thinking "It's only three days a week." Work went well. My boobs did not explode with all the other babies crying. And parents who annoy me at first by asinine requests and opinions, roll off my back because I can understand their point in a way just because I'm a mom now. Pumping went fine. I was guaranteed three breaks at least for fifteen minutes, and days that are crazy like today, that normally never happens. I had those moments to think about my little girl, and I did that all day long. I couldn't wait to get home. Toby had a good day and at one point he went to his parents house for reinforcements. He did well. He also had dinner ready to cook when I got home! She was starving but I'm glad he didn't feed her and waited for me to come home. I think the hardest thing about going back to work is fearing that I am going to miss something that she does for the first time. I was so afraid I was going to miss her first laugh, knowing that it was going to happen soon. As I talked to her tonight, I tickled her under her chin, and she laughed!! For the first time!!! I didn't miss it!!!! I almost cried!! I'm so thankful. Even God knows the smallest things that are important to me and gives me that precious gift. It wasn't a fluke, Toby reassured me, he hadn't heard her do that either. And all three of us were sitting together in the living room. So, that is my awesome moment from a day that I dreaded for so long. She's the best thing to ever happen to me...
Thanks for your prayers again. love you all.
