Back in the Pinpoint Doppler Center
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010Thank you all so much for the wonderful emails and comments over the last 8 months! It has been such a joy to share this life changing experience with you. You have matched my candor and honesty with your own, and your words of encoragement and advice have been invaluable.
I am back to work now, maternity leave (twice in one year) behind me. I was really dreading the return, not because I don’t like the job, but because my heart hurts when I am away from my girls (and my husband, I really got used to being around him all day long.) The good news is ABC 10 keeps me SOOOO crazy busy that I don’t have much time to miss my babies.
I bit the bullet and went shopping for some new, bigger clothse. The good news is they are already getting baggy, so the baby weight is still coming off. I joined the gym down the street from ABC 10 so I have no excuse to work out, and I have become a pro at pumping all day long so that my chubby little babies don’t go hungry while mom is at work.
The girls have been adjusting well. We have my mother in law with us all week, and a wonderful “daddy’s helper” 4 hours a day. She is AMAZING. The babies love her and she helps clean non stop which makes me so happy because it allows me to just spend time with the girls when I get home instead of spending hours cleaning. We have alot of help right now,here is a picture of Grace’s God Mother trying out the 2 baby juggle.
The best moment of the day is when I walk in the door and both girls light up.
It’s more subtle with Georgia but Grace is the most animated child.
We are getting into a routine at night where the girls and I go to sleep at the same time, sometime between 6 and 7. Grace is sleeping through the night now and Georgia is only up once, which my wonderful husband takes care of. They are both in the same room now in their matching mini cribs.
Yes, we have a very small 2 bedroom home, but we have made it work. Its cozy and intimate and we love it.
Keep those comments coming and don’t forget to watch me in action every morning from 4:30-7 and then again 11-12 on ABC 10.
