Indeed, coming home to see and hold my baby again was as sweet as predicted. It was sorta funny that she smiled at me, then went right back to playing with her toy as if she didn't notice I had been gone. I'm actually happy for that. The less anxiety for her the better! For me though, I couldn't help taking these pictures to capture our first "reunion." She would not stay still though!
And although I had a hunch that I'd like being back at work, you never know til the real deal. If I found myself miserable, constantly pining for Tesla, work would be pretty excrutiating. I'm happy to say that I really enjoyed myself. I missed being involved in projects and teamwork. I've got lots to learn as Six Apart has changed in the last 6 months and I'm totally rusty on what's going on in the blogging industry. But there is a lot to do and I want to get back into it all.
It was weird when I stepped out to get lunch or walked around the office, and didn't have Tesla in my arms. It was like a pleasant flashback to the days before Tesla. I had forgotten how that felt - not to have a heavy baby, not to worry if she'd explode in a scream, not to have a diaper bag. I'm open to things still getting difficult as I'll have less time for everything. But if I have a lot of days like today, then I'm getting the best of both worlds; a bit of the old me along with the new me.
