I've been off having baby #2...a boy! He's 7 months old..so I've had some time to get used to two kids and what a ride!
I had him December 2011. I was only off from work 2 weeks, no maternity leave offered...what century are we in?, back to work in January. I worked from home in January while my mom watched my 2 year old daughter during the day. It was tough but I got to spend so much time with him.
In February of 2012 my office allowed me to work from home Tuesday's and Thursday's. My daughter went to preschool M-W-F and stayed home with me and Drew on Tu&Th. I had to work double hard to get it all done..but I got a good schedule going and made it work....until now. I'm back at work 5 days a week.
This is the first week my son is in daycare. I miss his little laugh during the day. I miss my daughter's big hugs and hearing her play in her room. This week has seemed extra long and extra hard....I miss my kids!!!
I know other working moms out there go through the same hot mess I am right now. I applaud all working moms. We are making it work for our families the best way we can.
I'll have to update later on my hectic schedule right now. I am still trying to wrap my head around everything.
