How long has it been???

It has been a LONG time since my last post.  In fact, it has been so long that I have had  my second son, Gabriel, enjoyed 12 blissful weeks of maternity leave and am now back to work. 

Today is my first day back to work after maternity leave and it is such an odd feeling.  With Michael, I was home for almost 10 months before returning to work fulltime.  With Gabriel, we cannot afford that luxury and so here I am at work 2 days before my sweet Gabriel will turn 3 months old. 

I am enduring my first at-work pumping session as we speak and needless to say, it holds a lot less charm and joy than nursing my sweet boy. 

As the days turn into weeks and the weeks turn into months, I will continue to write as it provides me with some connection to my other role - Mommy.  I am currently reading an excellent book, the Milk Memos, on my Nook and it is all about nursing at work.  I definitely recommend it for anyone in the same boat as me.  http://www.amazon.com/Milk-Memos-Learned-Business-Babies-/dp/B0016BX7AC/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1324311541&sr=1-1

Hang in there, mamas, and know that you are not alone.
