Today is my first day back to the office after nearly 15 weeks out of it. The day has gone by relatively pain-free, save for my rookie mistake of walking out of the house without breast pads, which, for those in the know, can relegate your top into a constant developing Rorschach test sample. This pearl of information was discovered only after committing to some stealth self-groping on the train ride in, and upon which, whispering the words "oh, fuck." For the record, you cannot will yourself to NOT let down. Mercifully, I was able to get to a CVS with only minor damage to the bra and not my shirt. Still: Oops.
We'll see how this transition goes. I think she is having a good time with her grandparents who are at my home watching her. In the meantime, I stare at this picture of her all day.
Damn, she cute.
Sometimes ya gotta self grope. Too bad you didn't store any in your POCKETBOOK. Your daughter thinks you're awesome and can't wait to see you after work. But she's just charming the pants off her grandparents. No biggie, mom.

She is definitely cute. I hope the transition back to work is going ok for both of you.

Thank goodness for CVS.
Congrats on getting back to work (I hope-- at least I hope it isn't too heart-wrenching) and congrats on having such a beautiful baby girl, who is preternaturally photogenic.

I'm just imagining right now how much fun the men on your train were having watching you. You just made the dreary mornings of a few men a whole lot brighter. That's considered a public service.
She is so, so beautiful. Sigh. I love beautiful baby pictures. Totally makes my morning. =)
