hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go...

So we (Lil Miss and I) went to work today. The attorney I work for called early this week and basically said "I miss you! I can work around your schedule and you can bring the baby to work, I just need you back!" So we decided to give it a try and this afternoon was the first day at work with the baby.

"Look, everyone, I'm a working girl now!"

I was WELL prepared. I had two bottles all ready (just add water!) and what was left of the one I gave her right before we left home. Before we left I made sure she was changed, fed and all that good stuff. I had plenty of diapers and wipes and extra clothes and a bib and burp cloth and blankets and EVERYTHING in that bag. There was nothing she could possibly want! (c:

She slept the whole way down there and for about the first hour and a half we were there. About 3:15 or so she decided she was hungry and I had a bunch of filing to go through, so I fed her a bottle with one hand and sorted papers with the other (I'm the queen of multi tasking, apparently). She then went back to sleep and slept soundly until about 4:30. By this point, everyone else had left and it was just her and me.

She only had one fit and that was when she woke up at 4:30 and wanted to be changed and fed. She didn't cry long but it was just the two of us, so if she'd wanted to scream? Would have been fine. She then sat there perfectly happy in her car seat under Mommy's desk while I rocked her with my foot and she watched me work. Drifted in and out of napping. Finally fell asleep just before we got on the bus and slept the whole way home.

She was perfect! I was so proud of her! I'm going to be working afternoons, probably 4 a week, maybe even 5. I got more done this afternoon with no one there than I usually did when I would be there in the mornings when the attorney was there. I know the cases and clients and the attorney well enough now to be able to do most of the stuff he needs with little more than a list of notes and dictated specific letters. So all is going to be good. I think this might work out, which is nice!

We're going to do this again tomorrow afternoon, so wish us luck!

Sitting in her car seat, under Mommy's desk, just cooing at me. She's pretty easy to love.
