Work

Thanks to everyone for your prayers the past 2 weeks as I've gone back to work. I must say that it has been easier than I thought it would be which is a blessing. My workload isn't too heavy right now as we are just in the ramp up phase for our busy fall campus recruiting season. I'm able to feed Madison Claire in the morning and spend some time with her when she wakes up before I start working. I'm also able to see her throughout the day when I want to and so far I feel like I am able to get my Madison Claire fix. It certainly helps that I really like Annie and feel so comfortable with her being with Madison.

This past week I had to travel to Chicago for some meetings so it was my first out of town trip for work. I was really dreading it but it wasn't too bad. I definitely missed Madison but it wasn't unbearable. I did get a lot of funny looks at the office asking for the "mothers room" location so I could pump and trying to get all of the breastmilk through security at the airport! What a riot!

I'm hopeful that the coming months will go as smoothly as these first 2 weeks. Your continued prayers are definitely appreciated! Here are a few pictures of my little worker bee!

While work is going okay, we definitely miss our daytime naps & swimming in the bathtub (we don't have a pool so we have to improvise - thanks for the idea Ash!)
