Finally, I am here after my first work week!

ugh!!! i havent had the chance to get on! tell me, is being a working mom this crazy? a working PREGNANT mom? i wake at 5am, get on a 555 train, get to penn, walk 2 miles to the academy, do nothing all day, come back home, put hannah in for a nap (ive been getting home between 2 and 3), clean around the house, try to take a nap myself, wake up, play play play cook dinner, bath, put her to bed and go to bed myself...and oh yeah, i take a shower while she is sitting in the tub bc when else am i going to??

and she hasnt been herself this week....she knows mommy isnt around all day....the first nite, she wouldnt go to sleep unless i rocked her for 20 minutes...(i dont have a prob with that, of course, but usually she goes right down after a book and a 5 minutes snuggle time)....and yesterday she woke at 7am!!!! shes usually a 930/10am riser....poor greg, she was cranky all day yesterday, and wouldnt go to sleep until i got home at 3, when she passed out on my chest from exhaustion! my poor girl...

and i am missing her! shes got like, 5 new words since iive been gone all day...i feel like im missing a lot...

anyway, just wanted to share my week- and oh yeah, i havent even taken any pics of her this week bc ive been working........

working stinks, glad ill be out on maternity leave in april!!!

Yes, a working, pregnant mom is really very hard. My work days are 10 hours and I get up at 5:30 and don't get home until about 6:30-7. I'm lucky if I have time to take my heels off before dinner, then bath, books, bottle, bed. Maybe I sit down about 8:30.

I hope everything settles down for you and you feel well. I was battling my worst day of sickness at my desk yesterday and it wasn't fun!!!!

The first trimester was completely exhausting - painfully exhausting. Often I would be asleep with the baby on the couch before 7:30pm.

My job is very sedentary but my body was completely wiped out.

Aww, just think, it's less than 9 months until your home again - this time with 2!!! I am sure its hard to adjust... And I am sure she misses you, but once she gets used to the routine and she knows you will come home every day, she'll be better....

At least its nothing too crazy for you to start..

Well, I"m glad to hear that you're able to ease back into it, though. Hang in there, you'll hopefully get some energy back soon and all of this will become routine. And yay for maternity leave in April! WOO!
