The hubby and I just ran through our first mock "workday" morning to prepare for me to go back to work next Wednesday. It went very smoothly...to the point where I know I should NOT assume they will go this easy everyday. Baby slept nearly 8 hours last night! HALLLLELUJAHHH!! I was up at 4:30 with coffee ready (why am I just NOW using the automatic brew setting on my coffee pot? Best thing ever!) and baby still wasn't up. I did confirm that getting in the shower right from bed is still not my strong suit. Instead of waiting jumping in the shower or waiting for baby to get up, I just pumped baby's breakfast. This allowed me to chill out with coffee for a few minutes. At 5:10, when she still wasn't up, I put Dad on duty until 6 AM. I was ready by 6:20. Throw on an extra 15-20 minutes for baby loving and getting out the door, and I should be at work a little after 7 each day. This should work. I may have to do a few minutes of work/reading at night with this schedule to meet my hours plan at work, but it's not like I wouldn't do that anyway:)
While my morning went as planned, which pleased the planner in me, the mother in me hated the fact that I was not the one to go get my sweet girl out of her crib when she woke up. There is nothing sweeter for me than being the first person she sees when she opens her big eyes from a long night's sleep. I didn't like not looking at her...I am going to have 8 million pictures on my desk of her when I go back to work. I am just so in love with this little girl. Next Wednesday is going to be harder than I thought.
