10/4/10 - Final Day of "Vacation"

Today is a sad, but happy day. It's my final day of maternity leave. I can't believe it's been 10 weeks already! Now, back to the real world. I'm so nervous...I feel like tomorrow is the first day of school or something! I'm sad to leave my little lady, but knowing that our mom's will be watching her is very comforting (as it was with Olivia). I'm excited to get back into the outside world...shower, get ready and leave the house EVERY day, have adult interaction/conversation EVERY day, have the mental stimulation of work that I've been missing. Of course, it's still hard though. I can't imagine going the whole day without hearing my little lady crying out for me. And pumping...ugh, back to pumping.

As for today, I wanted to spend the day snuggling and spending time with Amelia, but of course, there's tons to do before the party on Sunday. While Amelia napped, I got their room and our room cleaned. I dusted and cleaned up the living room. Started getting my maternity clothes and the kids' too small clothes packed away. Did some miscellaneous organizing. Made some good head way. Part of the day I spent cleaning with Amelia strapped to me when she decided she would no longer nap, nor spend some alone time...that was quite a work out!

Christian and Olivia had dinner with him mom, so it was basically time for baths and bed when they got home. I packed up all of the kids' stuff for his parents house, and got my stuff ready for work and hit the hay! Tomorrow is a big day :)

Here is a pic of me and Amelia on our "last" day together!
