Maternity leave no more:-(

Well, yesterday was my first day back to work after 3 months of maternity leave. I slept very lightly thinking I might not wake up in time but in fact, I had a very good alarm clock. Mason decided he was hungry a little earlier than normal and woke me up around 5am. Oh well, it got me out of bed on time!

The day went well and wasn't a terribly hectic day at work which was good because I had a nursing student and found myself having to remember what screens to click into for charting on the computer and just having to figure out how to organzie my time again at work! Adam was able to get both boys to my mom's house before work and she said they had a great day! Actually, I think she told Adam that "there's a little more going on with two of them!" or something to that affect:-) Yes, there definitely is! I'm so thankful for my mom and mother-in-law who have watched my boys routinely for me while I work! They are more of a blessing than I could ever express!!!

I was beat by the end of a 12 hour day of work and it was so nice to get home to my family and a garlic chicken pizza in the oven too:-) MMMMMmmm, I love Papa Murphy's! I have such a great husband and kids and it's so nice to have Cole run up to me yelling, "Mommy!" when I get home!

Though staying at home full time would be fabulous, I'm blessed to have a job I love, especially just a job right now with benefits! My co-workers and boss are great too so it makes it easy to work there. (finding time to pump every 3-4 hours is a little tricky!) I only work two 12 hour shifts per week, one weekday and every other weekend so it makes childcare easy and still allows me to be home the majority of the time to raise our kids and take care of our home. My feet were a little achy but I slept good and was happy that I remembered how to be a nurse:-)

Here's a picture and video clip of Cole helping Adam feed Mason a bottle, he's such a good little helper!
