Back to work....

Here B is all ready for daycare!  

Man this stinks!! I didn't sleep at all last night....I just couldn't turn my brain off! I woke B up at 630 and we had some mom and Brody time before I got ready for work.  He just sat there watching me get ready - thinking it was going to be a normal day - except his mom was in tears and kept giving him kisses!!

Ross came back home to do "drop off" duty - and I was a mess!  I wasn't ready to say goodbye to my little man!  I ran through his diaper bag, instructions, and gave him a million kisses - and then off they went!  I sat in my car (in our garage) just bawling.  I kept looking in the mirror and was just crushed when I didn't see his little face staring back at me! (that has become my favorite thing when we are in the car!)  As I started to drive away - I started crying harder...our song came on (the song we listened to every day on the way to work when I was pregnant).  Then I started thinking this was the first time in a YEAR I'm going to be away from my everything!!....ahhhhhhh  For real - how am I going to make it through this day!!!

Ross called me as soon as he had left Brody - and was shocked at his own tears from dropping him off!!  That made me cry even more!!!  (good thing I had made it to work so I could sit in the parking lot and just cry!)  I finally pulled myself together and went in!

The day went by VERY fast - which was just what I needed.  My co-workers were awesome and wasted no time getting me up to speed.  I told them I had to be productive and start right away - or else I would run out the door and go do what I really wanted to be doing!  Pumping went great....and I managed to NOT call daycare once!  I figured if I did - and heard him - I would have to see him, so I focused on work and then RAN out the door at 3pm.

As I was walking into daycare I felt nervous!!  It was so weird!  I was so excited to see him, but it was like I was watching someone else.  As soon as I walked in and saw him in the swing - smiling away - I lost it again!  He isn't supposed to be at someone else house...he is supposed to be at our house!!  I ran over to him and gave him a million kisses!!  This little 3-yr-old said "how come you are giving him so many kisses?!"  I said "cause I love him so much!"  She answers "well my mom loves me and doesn't kiss me that much!"  I started laughing and crying harder!! haha totally judged by a 3-yr-old!!

He was a rock star at daycare though - so that's great!!  I'm glad he is happy!!  He ate great, pooped great, slept great (as a sick baby can...).  I managed to get all his notes, but wanted to bolt from there and get our play on!!

We headed home (which is less than 1 mile away!), ate, and headed to the doctor.  B woke up with red/hot ears this am, and when we called the doctor they said to bring him to make sure it wasn't RSV.  It wasn't; thank goodness!!  Just has a nasty cold....hopefully it will be over soon!!!  Then we came home and B wanted to sleep....but mom wanted to play!!  haha  Compromised by taking a nap together.  Rough day for the Sodahl Fam - but we made it!!  It can only get easier, right?!
