Hi Ho Hi Ho

Well, I'm back at work. It's a little weird. I got here and I had to really think about what I was supposed to do and how to do it. But as soon as I started working on stuff it all came back. I wasn't sure how things would go this morning. Hubby and I both have to leave around the same time and my mom came up to get Baby J since she'll be watching him while I'm at work. Maybe we should have done a trial run of getting up and getting ready but things went pretty well. Fortunately, Baby J slept the whole time we were getting ready but I'm sure that won't always be the case. I had to wake him up when my mom got there - he hadn't been fed or changed or dressed. I guess she gets to do that today.

It hasn't been as hard to leave him today as I thought it would be. Maybe because he's with my mom and not some scary day care. Maybe because I've been so busy catching up I haven't had time to miss him much. Maybe because it's nice to have adult conversations and something to do besides change 4,298 diapers a day.

And everybody here has been so excited to have me back. Apparently things were pretty crazy while I was gone so now they can get back to normal. Everybody's been telling me how great I look too. Not like I just had a baby. One of the guys asked me if I went on a special diet or something and I said, "yeah, it's called having morning sickness for nine months!" I really don't recommend it though. And I cut my hair. You know, because that's what you do when you have a baby. Just kidding, I've just always liked having short hair. Even though I have to actually style it now it still seems easier to me than having longer hair (not that my hair has ever really been long). So, so far it's kind of nice to be back at work but I'm still glad I only work part-time and will be back to spending the day with Baby J tomorrow.
