MIA

I've been mia lately. Jake and I took a much needed break and went to San Diego for the weekend thanks to wonderful childcare provided by Jake's Mom. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! We were able to get a great deal on the Hyatt Regency  and since it's only a five hour drive it worked out nicely. We were able to spend some time with Jake's cousin, Steve who is in the Navy and stationed there. In fact he just graduated from the Seals program last week. Congrats to him! We were able to do a little shopping and sightseeing and enjoyed some good food and company.  It was hard to leave the boys but since I will be going back to work Friday we thought it was a needed break. I actually got 5 hrs of sleep in a row! I would have slept longer but 15 oz  of milk are kind of a "wake up and pump" issue. I am very thankful I was able to keep up my milk sujpply while we were gone. In fact we bought some dry ice and a cooler and I ended up coming home with a BUNCH of milk. Just in time for working.

Speaking of working...I went to my annual education today. Boo! I love what I do but I wish I didn't have to work full time...not to mention go back after only 7 weeks. My boys can't even smile at me and I have to leave them!!Really? Iwill feel terrible if I have to miss their first smile. I belong to a message board for mommies of babies born in September and so many are smiling  and cooing. I guess I have to think that gestationally they are 3 weeks behind.  I hope I can see a smile soon..and not just from gas!

Well, I better go. I'm tired and the boys will be up soon...
