Mommy & me on her first day of work
Thought I'd post about how the first day went. Today I only worked 9-2pm so it wasn't bad. I'm not sure how he'll do T-F with me working 8:30-4pm, but I'm sure he'll survive. I felt fine about going this morning and nursed Eli before leaving. He had no clue, of course, I would be gone most of the day. He didn't nap for daddy this morning, but he is changing up his napping so this isn't a huge shocker. He drank a couple of ounces of breastmilk for daddy, ate some food for grandma, and drank another few ounces of breastmilk for her. But, no napping until I got home. Not sure how the napping will go from now on but we'll just have to be patient. He was very happy and content with grandma, which is my biggest concern, so that is good. But as soon as he saw me, he started fussing and acting tired and hungry. Little stinker :) Oh, and I pumped in the car because I thought it would be more comfortable. No fun to pump in the car or somewhere you don't feel private. Oh well, what can you do!!

Congrats on making it through the first day of work! Hopefully, you will find that it gives you some time to pursue your own goals, too. Eli will love his grandma time, I'm sure!
I was thinking about you today! I remember all too well the feeling of leaving Jack the first time I went back to work. I'm SO GLAD all went well for both of you!
As a side note- I've pumped in the car a ton, but even more fun is pumping while driving! I don't recommend it...
It sounds like you both are going to adjust just fine. I've been told it's really hard going back to work, but at least you have the comfort of knowing he's with family. And sometimes the little ones really thrive with the independence. Of course all bets are off once mommy's home. I'll keep checking in.
That is a beautiful photo of the two of you! So glad you survived the day. So sorry you had to pump in the car! Oh, the things we moms will do for our little ones!
I had to pump in the car once and I hated it. good luck with everything.
Yay!! I'm glad it's been going well so far! Yes, Eli will love Grandma time and it will make you going home all the sweeter :)
