Back to work...

Well Tuesday the 17th was my last day home with Jake and Brads birthday.  It was such a great day as I got to spend it with my guys!  I wish that day couldve lasted forever.  Unfortunately it didnt.  Mom and daddy came into town late on the 17th so they would be ready to keep Jake on Wednesday.

My first day back wasnt as bad as I expected because it was a half day and I knew Jake was safe with my parents.  We enjoyed the next day with my parents and then daddy went home Thursday to take care or things at home.  

Thursday was also a busy day for us as Jake was 2 months old and he had to go in to get his shots.  I was so sad and worried for him!!  We took this picture with his bear from Uncle Ryan just before we went to the doctor.  When we got to PedsEast Brad noticed Jakes ring finger was super red and swollen.  We were pretty worried because we knew it wasnt like that when we left the house.  We were seeing Dr. Guinther that day because Dr Hayes was out.  Dr. Guinther took a look and didnt know what it was.  He said it was red and swollen like a bee sting but the finger wasnt warm to the touch and it wasnt stiff.  He prescribed antibiotics just in case to make sure the swelling didnt continue into his hand.  He did great witht the shots...the nurse was awesome and did them all so quickly.  By the time we got home Jakes finger was already doing much better.  We gave him the antibiotics and learned very quickly that it was going to cause major diareaha!  Needless to say we were up several extra times changing diapers that night. :)

By Friday my first full day at work I was exhausted from getting up with Jake at night and going to work during the day.  When I was getting ready for work I guess I was rushing and when I finished pumping my milk I accidentally spilled one container almost 2 ounces.  That truely brought new meaning to the old saying "dont cry over spilt milk".  I really did want to cry...it is just so hard to produce enough milk that it is a horrible feeling to lose any of it.  

Sunday Brad and I went to dinner at Texas de Brazil for a belated anniversary dinner.  We had a great time...it was our first time to leave Jake for something fun like that.  We've left him to go to the grocery store or run a vew various errands but that was the first dinner out.  As much fun as we had we were ready to get back to our little man and prepare for the upcoming work week.  Here is a picture of the three of us before Brad and I headed out.  

My first full week back to work seemed to fly by.  I made it a point to come home for lunch to see Jake, Brad and mom and that really helped.  I cant imagine how it will be now that Jake wont be at home anymore.  We did start to get into a pretty good routine in the mornings and for eating during the day which is awesome.  Hopefully that will help for the week ahead.  We are so thankful that mom was able to stay with us for the last week and a half!  Jake had the best time with grandma all week!  They played and visited with Mary Francis and played some more.  Brad and I enjoyed a few nights out and mom helped us ease into the transition of me being back to work.  Thank you so much mom!  

This weekend Jake seems to be going through another growth spurt...hes been eating nonstop and sleeping more than usual when he isnt eating.  Well...off to work on things around here before it gets to late.  Gotta get everything together for Jakes first day at Kidtech tomorrow...I'm sure Jake will do great but I pray that I hold up ok.  :)
