I am back at work now. Have been for a week and I did survive. Its funny- I totally and completely dreaded going back to the point where I almost didn't do it. Then, I went, and I loved it. I feel completely guilty for feeling that way like I am saying I'd rather be at work than raise my daughter but the truth is- staying home really isn't an option for us and I admit- I like my job. So it works. FJ dropped her off in the a.m.s this week and I picked her up. Aside from a little fussiness in the afternoons due to being overtired, some excessive pooping that led to diaper rash- she did great. I love the baby sitter and I think that T loves being there. She is so attentive and has always loved watching our dogs run around- now she get to watch other children all day long. The sitter wants all the kids to nap from about 12-2 daily. I thought this would be impossible for T as she naps when she feels like it these days and not for very long. Today, being Saturday, I thought I'd give the 12-2 nap a try. I put her in her pack n play at noon- she fussed for about 5 minutes and has been asleep since (its 1:25). I am still sitting on my couch having gotten nothing done because I am just "waiting" for her to wake up.
On another note- AF came for a visit on Tuesday (11/19 for the record). I have been nursing 3 times a day and supplementing with formula 3 times a day and wappo- my body kicked in and AF showed. Does this mean I am fertile? Does it mean anything? I have to say that for the first time in my life I was relieved for her visit. I thought my body might take a while to get used to not being pregnant and not nursing but nope- she's here. I am planning to do opks this month just to see if I seem to be ovulating. I am so not ready for the ttc obsession but would love to "fall" pregnant. We'll see how obsessed I get.
