Working Mommy!

23 August 2008
Michelle Nordlorh (Pregnant)

I have survived my first 3 weeks back at work.  And Molly and I are both happy and doing just fine!  It hasn't been the easiest thing but it certainly has been manageable.  As long as I get at least one big toothless smile each night, I can get through the next day! 

The other major transition that has gone along with coming back to work is adjusting to pumping and giving Molly bottles.  She actually takes a bottle pretty well.  She won't take one from me (of course!) but she does fine with anyone else.  Pumping at work is really not fun but it's just the way it has to be.  I'm very dedicated to feeding Molly breast milk only so pumping is just something that I will have to learn to deal with.  The biggest hassle is trying to get away from my desk to do it.  Things are so busy at work that there are never enough hours in the day.

To any new mommies that are out there dreading going back to work - don't worry, you can do it!  And your baby will love you just the same!
