Today may not have been my first day back, but it's the beginning of my first actual week. I drove myself to the Metro versus my husband driving me to the office on Thursday. Carried that heavy pump and laptop bag, building some muscles!
I had lunch with a dear friend which made the day easier, and I also took a picture of Emerson asleep in her Daddy's arm just before I headed out the door… (sorry so dark but I didn't want to turn on the light and wake them)
Oh those baby CHEEKS!!! 🙂

You are looking amazingly good… it must be so hard to have to get up and go to work when they are both still in bed!
emerson is sooo soooooooooooooo sweet! i love seeing your outfit choices and the breakdown of it all.
Yes, Allie, I’m afraid we forget all about what you just wrote when you post cute baby photos!
Baby cheeks are the best. Seriously! I’m devoid of any mothering desires, but even I cannot resist wanting to kiss and munch on sweet baby cheeks. You look great!
I hope that your first full week goes well for you all!
The pic of your girl is just too beautiful!!
P.S. my word verification is “lucked” – you have very much lucked out with that beauty of a girl!
Oh, I well remember those days. I always kept a pic of my baby in my pump’s outer pocket so I could trigger my let down faster and remember why I was pumping in the first place. If you can afford it, buy two pumps. One to keep at the office and one for home. Makes a HUGE difference. And keep a stock of spare parts like valves that tear or get lost easily. What’s easy now may not be so easy later on. There’s a great resource for pumping moms that helped me form 9 year relationships with other mothers: http://www.pumpingmoms.org/
SO GLAD you’re nursing!
Girl, those cheeks are LUSCIOUS!!! I know it just about kills you to have to leave her. I remember when Bookey was growing eyelashes, how it was all I could do make myself walk out that door, and even then, tears in my eyes. Motherhood is NOT for the weak…
Sorry, but all you’ll get for awhile is “squeeee, look at the cutie-patootie!” 🙂
And you look fab!
