Busy Busy!

The pace of life sure has changed around here. I can tell you first hand that going to work full time and having a baby is a lot of work. I feel blessed that Matt is able to stay home- I honestly can't imagine if we both worked how we would ever arrive at work on time each day ALL week. It has been a little bit of a tough transition for me. Lyla hasn't been waking up before I leave for work so I just have to give her little kisses while she is sleeping and be on my way. My office is covered in pictures of the little darling. Pumping at work is the most strange feeling to me ever. It doesn't seem like an activity I should be doing at work- the room that they have provided for me is the smallest room with no windows- it is an old storage closet. Yes, a closet. I am slowly dressing the place up- it is gonna be the prettiest closet this side of the Mississippi when I am done. It's my own secret little project at work that no one knows about- I am the only one that uses the room. New mamas in the future will have a pretty little place to sit.

I miss being home most of the day. I miss seeing Lyla. I wonder what she is doing most of the day. The evenings are as busy as ever. I usually get home by six and we find time to have dinner and then I hang out with Lyla as much as possible before bedtime for her. She is usually pretty tired by this time of day and little crabby so it's hard that it's the only time I have to spend with her. Once she is off to bed, time is spent making a lunch for the next day and then I crash. I do have to say that Matt is doing an amazing job. It is kind of weird for me to have to check with him on Lyla's schedule. I have always been the one to pay attention to stuff like that in our house. He has her on quite the little schedule though and I come home to a clean house, a clean baby and dinner is usually prepped when I walk in the door. Sometimes I feel guilty, like I should be the one doing all those things but he very much looks at what he is doing as a job and takes it seriously. Honestly, that means the world to me. I can't lie though, it is still a constant work in progress to wrap my brain around all the change. It's good though- I feel like we are where we are meant to be in life right now.
