So, Monday was my first day back to work in nearly a year. I haven't worked since I was put on bed rest in late May last year, and I've been on maternity leave since October. Wow, that's nearly a year.
Today was the first time I have had a chance to update the blog this week (or since sometime last week, actually). I hope I have time to keep up with this blog and my photography, but it's going to be hard with two little kids and a full-time job, and a DC commute.
Anyway, I came home on Monday completely overwhelmed and on edge. Being away from the boys all day, especially since I usually nurse Owen several times during the day, was killer. Dealing with all of the boring administrative things that come with starting a new job was less than exciting. And dealing with the DC traffic, while it could have been worse (no major traffic delays), still wasn't fun. So I was pretty tired when I got home. I think I am going to enjoy my new job, but I have LOVED being home with the boys and am going to miss it a lot, naturally.
On Sunday, we went out for a little drive and then met some friends for lunch. It was a blast!

Gorgeous pictures! And all the best to you in your new job. I know how you feel, I went to work one year after having Little M and I felt happy to be working but absolutely exhausted after a day of a new routine and commuting (I was squished on the London tube with no A/C!)
