Baby Blues...

I started back to work this week after having three and a half months off:( It has been so hard. I feel like Addy is going to forget me!!! She is starting to smile and coo, and do all sorts of fun things now. Of course, just when she starts getting REAL fun I have to go back to work. I get through the day by watching the clock for her feedings. She eats every 4 hours, so I know that in 2 feedings I get to come home:) It really does help! Luckily, she doesn't have to go to a daycare, Brody and I have worked it out to be with her Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Friday we might have Russ (Kimi's husband) watch her for a few hours until Brody can get home, and Saturday my parents will have her. They can't wait!!! I am trying to find something to do from home. if anyone has any ideas, let me know. For all you moms that have to go back to work after having a baby...... IT SUCKS!!! I miss her every second!!!

Oh Jenn, I know exactly how you are feeling. I am so sorry. I remember how horrible it felt to leave my babies. It was pure torture. I am glad that I will get to visit you at work though! Have you looked into applying at Jet Blue or 1-800 contacts? Both places you have about an 8 week training period, but then you work from home, and 1-800 Contacts was voted one of the best companies to work for in Utah, so check it out, the training is worth every second if you know you are going to get to be home. I am glad you like my music! I seriously have like 9000 songs on there, but I think of a new one everyday that I love...steal away, everyone needs some good music.


Love ya,
Tina

I know! It's so sad :( I always thought that by the time I had my
2nd I would have figured a way to be home with my kids, but it's just not that easy to live on one income. You'll get through it and the time you do get to spend with Addy will be even more fun!

Jenn
Look how cute you and your little family is. I love that you commented on my blog. I was just asking someone about you not too long ago.
About staying home, if you choose to, you won't regret it. Being able to be with my kids all day couldn't be more rewarding. Your baby is a doll. Keep in touch!

I'm sorry Jenn. That bites.
Well, it might sound weird, especially since we haven't talked a lot in a while, but I'll help out if you need me to. I'm home all day, every day.

No pressure!

I am so sorry Jenn! That TOTALLY sucks! Here's the plan: I'll go on Deal or No Deal for you, win lots of money and give some of it to you so you can quit work and be with Addy ALL THE TIME! :) Sound good? :) Seriously though, it must be so hard leaving her. I can't even imagine.
