Back To Work I Go

So I'm on my 7th week of classes this semester, and things seem to be going pretty smoothly. I have 100% in both of the two classes. The only concern I have is the group project I have for my Intro to HR class. How can you require students to do a group project for an online class? That doesn't seem fair....so far I haven't even heard from one of my group members.....hopefully it'll work out okay.

So today Miss. Savannah is 12 weeks old, which also means I went back to work today. And of course I go back to work on a day where I don't get much sleep. Savannah didn't go to sleep until 11 p.m., I didn't fall asleep until 12, then she was up at 2:30, 5:30, and then my alarm went off at 6:30....Went and dropped her off at Scott's mom's house, feed her one last time, then it was off to work. I'll admit, I cried on the way....for some reason this time is a lot harder than with Connor. Maybe because Scott actually brought Connor, and I didn't. Maybe because I now know that it sucks to watch someone else raise your kids.....whatever the reason........I cried.....Thankfully work went pretty fast. When I got there I pretty much had to turn around and drive almost all the way back because I had to take my back to work drug screening. Then between lunch, and pumping twice, before I knew it, it was 5 p.m. and time to go home! Savannah didn't eat much today, probably 5 oz in 9.5 hours, but it was something! I was worried she wouldn't eat anything! Now every day should be better! She also didn't sleep much, but she did sleep a lot yesterday.....Since I've been home (2 hours) she's eaten twice and slept almost all the rest of the time. Guess she missed her mama! At least one of my kids still needs me, Connor is just to independent sometimes and it just seems like he doesn't need me.

7 Weeks Later

So this weekend is Buddy's 2nd birthday. I can't believe he's going to be 2!! It seems like just yesterday he was born.............time goes by way to fast!!! So tomorrow is the big birthday party. They're actually combining Buddy, Addison, Jillian, Olivia & Macy's birthdays, and just having one big party. We would never be able to do this for our kids because both of our sides of the family are very large, and I couldn't expect someone else to be able to throw a party for a bunch of people they aren't related to. That is why we just throw one huge one for Connor's. I'm not sure yet exactly what we'll do for Savannah's....since her b-day is in winter, we really can't have one huge party, b/c we can't fit everyone in our house.....we might just have to do Scott's family during Round Robin, and then my family the weekend before.......

So anyways, we're over 7 weeks into the life with 2 children. It's crazy!! What can I say?? Savannah definitely does not sleep as well as Connor use to at this age. By now Connor was sleeping 6-7 hours at a time....the most Savannah has done is 5 hours, but only once or twice, it's usually 3-4 at night......ugh....I'm a little tired. But this is one reason I've decided not to go back to work next Wednesday like originally planned. I've decided to use the full 12 weeks of FMLA, and not go back to work until February 23rd. I'm excited about spending more time at home with the kids, and hopefully I'll get some more things accomplished in the next 4.5 weeks, but I'm not counting on it....... Poor Connor, I wish it was warm out, because then we could go down to the park or something, but instead we stay inside playing with toys and watching movies all day.....today we watched Open Season 2 like 3 times........thankfully he doesn't sit there and just watch it the entire time, he gets up and go plays for awhile.......so I've probably seen it more than him, even though I'm on the computer a lot. Doing homework, on facebook, BBC, etc. Well that's enough rambling for one day, here's Savannah's picture at 7 weeks (1/19)
