So, I did get the joy of going home for lunch to nurse. That said, because I didn't pump at work and only fed her at lunch, my milk supply was pretty pathetic and was never strong to begin with. <br /><br />I totally have Mommy Amnesia and don't remember how hard it was. I never felt like it was difficult. It just was. I know that it's quite easy now (and easier because I don't get up at night so Rob gets up between 1 and 5 times a night with her). I need my sleep. <br /><br />It's all about quality time, and I don't see any negative effects with working full time. We just try to do a lot on the weekends and make an effort to do as much as we can. <br /><br />I can't believe he's 3 months already. He looks like he's grown so much in the last week along from your pictures.princessaprhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17661275728902254769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2205981882039279640.post-61221082352521670002012-03-14T22:01:48.377-04:002012-03-14T22:01:48.377-04:00My oh my, that schedule looks familiar.

It looks like my schedule is pretty similar to yours, so I appreciate having a starting point. You've been bookmarked for later! =)Brittneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16844633539917410466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2205981882039279640.post-54851498493447337582012-03-14T13:53:51.181-04:002012-03-14T13:53:51.181-04:00I dont know how any of us do it.

My daughter will be 7 weeks tomorrow, but I have been back at work for 4 weeks. We could not afford another month off. She goes to a nanny as opposed to daycare. But I agree, work gives me a reason to shower.. haha!Crystal Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07937680767536599864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2205981882039279640.post-91390593654550295532012-03-14T12:52:17.213-04:002012-03-14T12:52:17.213-04:00This was a great post!

We have no idea what we'll be able to do with my current work schedule when we have our first child, but I know it will be a complicated journey.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04016963796201775781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2205981882039279640.post-72249813218043310372012-03-14T12:31:20.859-04:002012-03-14T12:31:20.859-04:00This was really fascinating to me!

It simultaneously makes me want a baby RIGHT NOW and also terrifies me for how I'll find a way to handle it all! :)<br /><br />I'm interested to see how it changes as Hunter grows, too.<br /><br />I'm glad to hear daycare is working out so well. <br /><br />Also, how's work? Do you find your tiredness is an issue or do you still rock it?<br /><br />You're amazing. :)bekahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15362619565392680707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2205981882039279640.post-84038544904345871872012-03-14T12:15:14.175-04:002012-03-14T12:15:14.175-04:00Wow, you are so busy!

I couldn't imagine being back at work when she was three months old - she was still a pretty big handful then. These days, she's much easier. I admire you so much for being able to do it all without going crazy. Hopefully the working from home thing works out. With your long commute it would probably take a lot of stress off you at times.Venassahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07734884129417163103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2205981882039279640.post-27592510180634040192012-03-14T12:03:08.255-04:002012-03-14T12:03:08.255-04:00Wow, you are amazing, girl, and I have so much res...Wow, you are amazing, girl, and I have so much respect for all the moms out there, both working and stay-at-home. You're right that they both have their challenges. I have no idea what our financial and career situation will be when we decide to have our first kid, but it really helps to read different perspectives like yours and get a feel for what to expect.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13226523010102160874noreply@blogger.com
