It Ain't Over Till the Fat Lady Sings....

...and cover your ears, because I'm singing. Sadly, my maternity leave is definitely OVER. Today, I had my first full day back to work, and surprisingly it went really well. More on work some other time...

Last week I stayed home with both girls while our sitter was on vacation and tried to really ENJOY them. And, despite a few (OK several!) frustrating moments, we had a good time. Here are just a few pictures from the week...


We made breakfast... yummy chocolate chip pancakes...


We finger painted...

We laughed and hugged...

We went on walks to our neighborhood park,
where Sami got to wear Addi's hat to keep out the sun....


And Sam and I went shopping with our friends Jenny and her new baby boy, Ryan.
The kids loved it!

All in all, it was great to spend so much time with both girls, and in some way losing my mind a few times made me see exactly how much I will also enjoy some adult time. I love my girls... but both of them home all day every day is a LOT of chaos. And, as Jay said, he's happy for me to be back to work because he can't take the house being as messy as it was the days I was home with both!

I am sad though, that now Kim gets to spend all day every day with Sam while I slave away at a desk. I know I felt this same way when Addi was a baby and I don't regret going back to work. It's just hard to believe that she is already 3 months old (on Thursday)... It seems like yesterday we were introducing her to Addi in the hospital. How time flies....
