I went back to work on Wednesday. I can't tell you how hard it was to leave Madison. It was Hard! Although I absolutely love my job, and even love being there...I long to be home with our beautiful little baby. Work was good, I missed the people A LOT..it felt like I had not been away a single day. I missed the gals I work with, but you know in 8 weeks that I was home, I never called anyone. Why? I envisioned inviting myself o join them for lunch at least weekly, nope, never happened. I guess I was just totally content at home with my baby. But at least work is a place that I really do enjoy being...that makes this a little easier, but not much.
Yesterday was Matt's first day alone with Madison. I think it went great, I also think I would never hear about it if it didn't. He took her into work while he met with some people and said she was a big hit. He sweetly came and took me to lunch so I could try to feed Maddy, but she was too sleepy and I just had to suffer for the rest of the work-day. While home, he cleaned everything up as he took care of Maddy. Who wouldn't love a man like that? On the phone, he was like..."yeah, Madison has been fussy all day...I can't do ANYTHING when I have to take care of her (house wise)" I said, "SEE?SEE? I told you I never had time to do much housework" Then he was like, "no, I cleaned the whole house too, I just meant..." Then I was just like, "oh :(" But yeah he really did clean. AND, AND!! He has been consistently putting all his dishes in the dishwasher instead of just throwing it in the sink! That is my favorite part I think. So Maddy LOVES her daddy, he's a big hit. There's nothing I can do that he can't...I thought I was somehow special supermom, the ONLY one who could soothe our baby. WRONG! Matt is just as good at it, come to think of it...the nanny does just fine too. So, I should be happy right? right.
Anyway, that is all I can think of right now.
Wait, Madison hasn't pooped in over 2 days...this could end very badly.

ReplyDeleteOf course you're still special - you're the mom whether you're at the office or not.
And the husband totally rocks.
