Back to work

Yesterday was my first day back at work. After much deliberation, I decided to return to my former job as a CNM at Midwest Midwifery. It was so good to be back!!! I missed how organized it all is at Midwest and remembered many favorite patients. The day went pretty smoothly for me, it was great to actually finish a task, have my mind on something other than getting my kids to nap or changing poopy diapers, and have adult interactions. On the flip side, I did miss my children desperately. I will most likely be working 1-2 days per week. We are still figuring out our childcare situation. My parents and my grandmother came over the weekend to help out with the children for my first day. Boy, Ben and Abigail gave them a run for their money...it took all three of them to take care of the two of them :) Abigail is stubborn (like me, I suppose), and refuses to drink from a bottle. She took a few sips from a spoon yesterday and did a lot of crying. Lets just say we were both happy to see each other at 6:30 pm.
I'm thankful that I am able to work part-time and don't have to work full-time. Working has its pros and cons...hopefully with good childcare it will be mostly positive for all of us.
