"Our new Friday night"

Since, I have been back at work things have been kind of hectic but I dare say they are getting better each day. Also- just knowing I am working home on Mondays brings a sigh of relief to me on Friday's when I leave work.

I haven't hung out with the ladies these past 3 weeks because 2 weekends in a row we had plans & getting back in the swing of things with work was an adjusment. So last night was our first night we all got together in a couple weeks and it was fun!

Sylvia,Matt and their baby Jack came over along with Margaret, John and their baby Camilla. We had pizza and some drinks and just hung out until the wee hours of 10:15pm. My how times have changed!

This time last year we were all in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico partying like it was our job! We all knew it would be our last hurrah since baby talk had already started. Very shortly after returning from Mexico, Sylvia found out she was pregnant then I found out I was pregnant & Margaret got pregnant just a few months after that. It has been really great going through all the preggo stuff together plus we all live close by so our kiddies will be hanging out lots whether they like it or not!

I especially love this picture of Sylv's son Jack trying to work his magic on baby Cammy already! Eli has no chance at Cammy, Jack has the upper hand here being that he and Cammy are Polish. Not to mention, Margaret & Sylv's family are already arranging their marriage. But that is totally ok- Eli still has lots of options, there is a baby girl 2 houses up the road & our friend Nicole just had a baby girl so he is all set! hahaha...there are always other fish in the sea!



Here is our "responsible parent" picture of the evening.

Work from Home

Check it out - Eli has figured out how to hold onto things if you put it in his hand. He loves to play with his keys!

Yesterday, was my first "work from home" day and overall it went pretty well. Elias didn't cooperate in the napping department he only went down 2 times for about 30 minutes tops each time. But he did stay entertained in his baby rocker chair & on the floor with his gym mat with the hanging toys. There were some fussy moments but for our first day together trying this out I would say it was a success.

I brought home lots to do from the office and suprisingly I got most of it done. Sometimes I think being at home is easier than being in the office. Maybe because we are all a pretty chatty group? hahaha...we all know I can't work without being able to chat! LOL

What was especially nice about being home was for starters I didn't have to do all the "prep work" I do each night to prepare Eli & myself for a successful departure from the house in the morning. The other nice aspect about working from home is that I don't have to pump. YEAH!! When Eli was ready to eat I was right there which made it so much more easier than pumping. I did not miss cleaning bottles and all the typical pumping gear I have to clean 3 times a day at work one bit yesterday!
