Happy Halloween

Back to work

I started back at work today and things went pretty well. The nanny has been watching the baby for a few hours nearly every day since the beginning of September, but this was the longest I've been away from him in one stretch. I tried to get everything planned out the night before, with the pump and bottles and purse (haven't used one of those in 3 months, it's just been the diaper bag) and setting the alarm early enough that I'd have time to either pump or feed, then shower, eat and get out the door on time. Even with Joe's help I wasn't quite on time to work, but that shouldn't surprise anyone.... Anyway, I guess my point is that it was difficult to say good bye to the baby and I missed him terribly during the day. Saturday night we had our first real date and went to the opera, and I kept thinking about the baby and how cute he is and how I just want to cuddle him and how he's growing so fast and ....

I realized I didn't have any pictures of him at work, and I need some badly. Maybe that will just make me miss him more. Dunno. But look at this cutie - how could I not miss being around him?

crazy eyes!

Well hello there!
