Maternity leave is officially over.
I think we're all sad about this. It means that Hannah is getting older - we've lost our little 3 lb wonder and struggle to carry around a 9 lb behemoth. She has also been much more alert and awake - looking at toys, occasionally smiling, grabbing things put near her and paying attention when we read her stories. This part is fun. The crabby-after-8-pm part is not as fun, but this is followed by the sleeping-for-up-to-5-hours part which Abi thinks is fun.
It also means that Abi is back to work. Funny how you forget so much when all you know is bottles, diapers, pumping and nursing! The first few days were a little rough. This month I'm at a new hospital so not only do I have to re-learn everything but I have a new computer system, new people, new nurses.....it's been an adjustment. As usual I'm settling in now, about 1/2 way through the month. This week is my longest work week yet but I've got a light at the end of the tunnel with a fun 3 day weekend coming up.
