Well folks, I have added another title to my mommy status... I am now an "Exclusively Breastfeeding Working Mother" and also great at multitasking since I'm typing with one hand because Mackenzy just fell asleep on my arm!
Today I went back to work while Mackenzy and Ray had a great time all day before he had to go to work. The day went rather smoothly considering I didn't practice before hand. I woke up 10 minutes earlier than normal to get ready, ate breakfast, filled bottles, cleaned up the leaking milk storage bags, and got all my junk in one place all before she woke up at 7:00 for her "breakfast". I even got to work early! I'm so proud! I did shed a tear while I was nursing her because she looked up at me like she always does right before she falls asleep, but then she ruined the moment by farting 3 times and I started laughing! How I missed my little stinker today!
Being back at work felt natural although I did get tired around 12:00 which has been our nap time for 7 weeks! I also felt like a cow while I was pumping all that milk out for her. I was a little nervous about how day 1 would go, but I see now that continuing to breastfeed when you go back to work is definitely possible and being a working mom can work! I love being a mommy and I wouldn't change anything!
Here are the latest pictures of our little bit! She's 7 weeks and weighs about 9 lbs 6 oz!
