Hi everyone! I am back to work today and it is all really hectic. I am currently working off of someone else's computer as mine won't let us log into it for some reason, even with the administrator codes! What a welcome back, huh? haha! I promise to catch up with everyone sometime this week, I have been reading along and following with you all though!
Really quickly:
Neffie--CoCo is gorgeous as is your birth story, so happy you were able to push her out yourself and you sure are taking to motherhood very well!! Awesome news to hear that expressing is going well, my DH also loves to feed our little one so it is definitely a perk!
Sparkle/AA--Happy Due Date!!!
You made it!!! I hope to hear of AA's arrival very soon!!! Huge hugs hun!!!
Lil--almost there! So glad you were able to have some relaxing time out with DH, so important, especially now that you will soon have a baby AND a toddler taking up all of your time!!
Shell--oh hun, I am so sorry to hear that you may have to return to work sooner than you would like. I totally understand where you are at. This is partially why I returned to work so soon--we just bought a new house in a pricey suburb a few years back (to give Grace access the best school district we could--#2 in the state!), and in exchange, we need both of our incomes to afford it. I really hope you are able to do part time, it hurt so much today when I said goodbye to Grace at daycare.
Grand--I hope to see a BFP from you in the near future!! DH and I will be trying for #2 starting the end of this year, once Grace turns 1, for the very same reasons you are NTNP now. I too hope you are able to manage part time when you return to work! Oh, and funny story about not looking one's age--I'm 37 (old fart)--last week my neighbor stopped by to see Grace and started talknig about her daughter in law who was starting to try for her 2nd child at 35, she then remarked to me "So see hunny, at 29, you have lots of time to try for your second!" I was like "uh, I'm 37". She almost fell over! haha I felt so complimented but old at the same time, rofl!
Bean--I really hope they are able to find little Nate's testicle and make sure that it gets descended. Poor little guy, you both continue to be in my thoughts and prayers!
Kizzy--loving the pics on FB btw!! I hope G is doing better with her teething, poor dear.
Vix--sorry to hear controlled crying is regressing. I hope it turns around for you! Also loving the FB pics!!
Milos--so good to hear from you hun!!
Sorry to hear about the exhaustion/lack of sleep you have been going through. I hope Grand's tip about feeding helps! It really does ease things up when your other half can help out with feedings!
to anyone I may have missed! Like I said will try to properly catch up as things ease up for me this week!
AFM: Grace is taking to daycare very well, she is such a smart little lady and is already fitting right in! Mommy is not doing so well, but that is to be expected. I am so neurotic that I even typed up a 3 page "Getting to know Grace" document about her personality, eating habits, likes/dislikes and gave that to her teacher this morning when we dropped her off. They probably think I am nuts.
I had a good cry in the car, fortunately DH and I commute in to work together, so he kept me distracted. Everyone at work is being really great about things--Ive already done my first expressing without incident in my office. They are all happy to have me back and telling me how much they like the pictures of Grace, which is nice--but it is still not as good as being home with her!!
I am a pretty strong woman generally, but this is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do!!
havent got any usful adive im afriad but didnt wanaa read n run!
I know it's a time zapper but it's easy at least and no tears. 
If you're not in labor already I hope tomorrow's appointment goes well!
but I need to for money's sake...could you do part-time maybe...that's what I'm trying to do.
Coco is just beautiful though.. a week already wow.. time is flying..
WELCOME TO THE WORLD, COCO AND EMILIA!!! 
Enjoy your new bundle of joy!
