Loving // My smiley baby! Charlotte’s open-mouth gummy grin never ceases to make me laugh. We went to the zoo on Wednesday (Jose had the day off work and Emma’s daycare was closed) and Charlotte started fussing a bit as we were getting ready to leave. I took her out of the stroller and carried her around like this as we headed for the exit and for whatever reason, she LOVED it. Babies are so funny.
Feeling // Ready to go back to work. It’s not necessarily that I’m ready for maternity leave to be over, or that I miss being at work…except in some ways, I do actually miss work. It’s hard to put into words, exactly. I guess I’d say I’m ready for more adult interaction in my days and to return to my “normal” life. Being home all the time feels part awesome, part boring, part relaxing, part stressful…etc, etc, etc. Overall, I’m ready to go back to work.
Prioritizing // What I want/need/should/could get done in these last couple weeks before I do head back to the office. This isn’t quite as Type A as it sounds. Basically, I’m looking over the list I made back in early September and writing off pretty much everything I haven’t accomplished yet. There are a few things I do want to get done, but mostly I’m throwing the list away.
Anticipating // A fun weekend. Jose’s cousin and her family are stopping by for a short visit, and we’re going to hit up the Armand Bayou Farm Festival, and I’m taking Emma to Disney on Ice. She doesn’t know, and I’m basically expecting her head to explode with excitement when we get there.
