After Work Update

Friday was my first day back to work. Yuck. I don't know who it was harder on...Jake or me. When I went to tell Elijah goodbye he gave me his pouty lip and started wailing! He didn't stop crying for a long time (45 minutes maybe..I wasn't there, Jake called me). Of course that upset me because he rarely cries let alone for that long. I found it difficult too because I haven't stayed up all night long for 13 weeks! Plus our new unit opened and we went to computer charting about 2 weeks before I went off on leave. A lot of new things to get used to. On Saturday and Sunday I was high risk so I had to go on deliveries. I brought the most kids up to the unit that I ever had. One of the deliveries was not very good either because the kiddo came out very stressed and needed some resuscitation. I was praying it didn't turn into something where we needed our code cart. It's been too long since I've had to do that..thank God. Everything worked out in the end...although getting to eat lunch took a backburner to going to pump. Jake survived it all too. A little sleep deprived but he survived. Of course on Saturday night Elijah woke up at 2am to eat and then he wanted to play...figures he'd do something off the wall when Daddy had him. He wanted to break him in early I guess. Overall I still want to be able to stay home with Elijah but with God's grace I can do the working thing while the family needs me to. I miss him bunches though. I have to hold him tight and breathe him in when I get home. I know others can take care of him but he's just so little and I think he needs his momma. I need him too.
Well, I guess that's all for now. I have a lot to catch up on.
The picture is of my friend, Charity and her son Asher, and Elijah and I. Asher is 2 months older than Elijah and is a big cutie pie! It was great to be able to see them when we were in MI. Too bad we weren't closer b/c they would be great playmates!
