Back to work tomorrow...

I am actually looking forward to a little break from the kids, but going back to work is making me a little sad. There is so much stress associated with my work stuff: gotta pump, want to see Sloane at lunch to nurse (as much as I can), have to make sure that Rex makes it from Nick's house back to our house mid-day, have to make sure all of the babysitters (Tom & 2 cool gals who just graduated from WWU) know their schedules, have to pack lunches, make sure milk is ready, keep our house semi-clean so that people don't think we are totally disgusting, have to worry that Sloane won't want to drink from the bottle (she has pretty much refused up to this point except for one successful attempt by Tom), have to juggle my late night meetings and Matt not getting home til late cuz he has to drive so far for work...the list goes on.

Plus...I'm gonna miss my kiddos even though today it took me an hour and half to get Rex to sleep and I had to resort to letting Sloane cry while I rocked him to sleep. I hate to hear babies cry!! There was a point today that I thought...I am soooo thankful that I work!!

This has been a crazy 3 1/2 months, though. A few memories:

-Fun trips to Vancouver BC while Matt was on his maternity leave

-My first time taking both kids out together to the park

-Building up my courage to become a pro at grocery shopping with both kids

-Rex sitting patiently in his carseat while I nursed Sloane just about everywhere we went

-Trips to the Children's Museum, library, toy store, parks (ALL of them)

-Many a jog in the jogging stroller from 70 degree weather to now 45 degree weather

-Reading books, taking naps, playing "guys"

-Picking up Rex from Nick's and see that big smile on his face

-Snuggling in bed with Sloane

-Shopping trips to the mall with Sloane in the front pack

-Late morning elliptical trainer workouts with Sloane in the front pack while watching Beverly Hills 90210 reruns

Rex and Sloane today (my last day :( ):
