It happened. November 9th came, and November 9th went. Which means I have officially started back to work. Showering. Doing my hair (ish), wearing heels. Using my brain. Leaving my baby.
We were fortunate to have "daddy daycare" my first day, and then Super Grandma came back up to Minneapolis to do some 'granny nanny' for Thursday and Friday. This definitely helped the transition as I could focus on figuring out how to get myself ready to get out the door without worrying about all of Tillie's stuff as well.
And I think most of the cobwebs have been cleared out of my brain. I have found that I am able to form coherent questions and statements at work. BUT...I also find myself thinking, "I wonder if Til has pooped today", "I wonder if she went to sleep for her nap okay" and the WEIRDEST thing, is that every once in a while I find myself smelling dirty diapers.
Phantom dirty diapers. That is how you know you are on the brink of insanity.
But in all seriousness, this week went great. There were a few tears, a few moments at work where I just wanted to escape back home and snuggle with Tillie. But with good friends checking in on me, and peace of mind that Tillie was probably having more fun than she has with me, we made it through.
So next week is the big week...off to DAYCARE. Wish us (and by us I mean me because I am sure Tillie will be fine) luck.
