Going back to work....

Apologized for not updating this blog as frequently as i would like. But my days are occupied with my little tyrant :(

Went back to office for meeting last week for 2 days. I treated it as a trial-run b4 i officially go back to work the coming week. Boy was it fast.. 10 weeks are going to pass just like tt...

First and foremost, i need to go shopping and beautified myself again. As most mothers would know, you will not be able to fit into ut pre-pregnancy clothes. It's really depressing. Went shopping and got even more depressed when i cant fit into a L-sized pants. FYI, i used to be a M.... :( this is really depressing. Need to buy some new blouses too cos' now i got bigger boobs... :P Then i went to do rebonding. Finally!!! After more than one yr of enduring bad hair days, i went to do it

Next, i need to worry abt the logistics of pumping milk in the office. I had a headache trying to think how to bring the pump, the ice-bag (fyi, we bought the 'Fridge-on-the-go' so that hubby can use it for his drinks after my bf session is over), the sterilizing stuff and my laptop on my first day back. There are so many things and so heavy. No choice but hubby has to drive me back to work and i had to take a cab back the next day cos need to bring back the laptop.

One thing i need to mention here is tt hubby has been really supportive, the nite b4 i start work, he brought Athena to sleep in the other room so tt she wont disturb me and only brought her to me when she woke up for her milk. I was so touched!!! I didnt know abt it till i woke up and surprised to see both of them not in the room. To be frank, he's a much better care-taker than i am. I cant appease her when she's in one of her crying fits due to her colic. Hubby usually can calm her down.. Good grief :P

Anyway, pumping milk in my office is a challenge as there's no nursing room and all meeting rooms have frosted glass doors or panels. :( After much deliberation and suggestions from colleagues, they advised me to use the HR room and hide behind the door. The HR lady was very nice to be agreeable. However, she has to move out of the room once her boss is here in Nov. Then i will need to find ano room :( The 2 days were a challenge. Nevertheless, i was thinking of starting my work with 3-day week first so as to clear up my remaining 9 days of maternity leave. Need to discuss with hubby abt it. Partly so tt i can get used to working life after such a long break :(

Will think abt it......
