First week back at work was overall good. They are going to start working on converting a bathroom in my building into a pump room. In the meantime, I'm using a vacant office in the building next to us. My output at the pump has been pretty good and I hope I can keep this up.
As far as work goes, I literally got thrown into the thick of things instead of gradually easing back in. Once I got my systems set up, it was like riding a bike. It came back to me pretty quickly.
DH said it hasn't been too bad so far with both. DS1 is playing independently a lot so that allows him to tend to W.
Helloo! I'm also soaking up baby snuggles. We've been so busy over here, DD turned 2 and we had an offer accepted on a house but it unfortunately fell through after the inspection. I'm hoping it all happened for a reason.

ellabee I'm glad you had fun! Hope your kids and husband did fine without you. I'm laughing at boob juice on the rocks
tex I'm glad your first week was good and also that you'll have a dedicated pumping room. I'll be thrown right into the deep end on Thursday. I'm actually looking forward to three pump breaks a day.
@orangcrush happy birthday to your DD! Sorry about the house, I've had that happen and it was definitely for the best. Hope you find a great place soon.

DH is actually home today so that's a nice treat. N had me up at 5:15 but then we went back to bed and got to sleep in until 8:45. DH is all about the Kentucky Derby today.
I'm going shopping and out to dinner with my bestie later. Taking N along because she wasn't taking bottles when I made the plans and DH wants some downtime, which is fair. He's gonna have his hands full on Thursday. Not sure where we're going to dinner yet, I'm not craving anything particular.

We had a communion today. E was so good she was up through most o church and smiled at all the music. She was good and napped through lunch at the restaurant. Now we are home relaxing watching hockey.
I'm chilling out with both littles over breakfast, partner is out at a carboot sale getting even more crap to sell on eBay. I'm shattered today but thats nothing new.
The grandparent and all the attention withdrawal is strong today. I'm going to let mh take care of ds today. Do not want to deal with a grumpy pants toddler. His two year check up is tomorrow. I am not looking forward to that based off his freak out in the doctors office last time...for dd's appointment when the nurse wasn't even looking at him.
In my exhaustion I forgot to put in my nursing pads last night. Dd decided to sleep through the night, I guess she was exhausted from all the attention too! I woke up soaked. I have to wash the duvet that I just put on the comforter a couple days ago. Changing the duvet is like going to the gym, it's quite the work out. I hope it didn't leak through to the actual comforter, it's down and I have no idea how to clean it.
Hi friends! Happy birthday to @orangcrush & lakegirl bigs! My dd will be 2 June 1st, isn't it crazy how fast time goes!?___________________________________________ I've been meaning to give an update but it's all just so much I find myself lurking instead of typing. My mom got sent home today, hopefully not too soon. We went over for a visit this morning and she seemed so disoriented. We're hoping as the pain medication they had her on wears off she will get back to her normal self. I really appreciate all of the prayers and well wishes from everyone.
Also, R decided last night was a good night to start rolling from back to belly. It was a fun night, took about 4 hours to get him to sleep, reminded me of the newborn days. As a last resort I stole dd's light up seahorse to give him as a distraction and it worked. I have ordered 2 from Amazon because I'm not sure dd will be willing to share.

E was up from 4-6 just crying and screaming. We still don't know why. We are both pretty tired but got in an afternoon nap. I already made mashed avocado and sweet potato for E to freeze.

Happy birthday to lakegirl and @orangcrush babies!
Glad your mom is home meeggaannw. Give her some time to recover from surgery and then reassess. It must be so hard
I had a great outing with my friend last night, we both found some cute new clothes for work. Then we had dinner at Cheesecake Factory and N slept through the whole dinner. She was great all afternoon. I still have some hazelnut crunch cheesecake in the fridge

meeggaannw, happy to hear your mom is home, and I hope her fog lights soon.
Happy birthdays to the J17 big siblings all around! My big will be 3 at the end of the summer. In the back of my mind, I'm already stressing over the birthday party.
