Not Heading Back to Work Yet...

So, Tuesday was going to be my first day back at work, but thanks to a pediatrician who does not want Lincoln in a daycare until he's 8 weeks old (even if it was just going to be 2 days a week) and thanks to a very nice gift we recieved I am going to have 2 more weeks with my little one! I did go into the office on Friday just in time for the Halloween Bash. I didn't actually attend but I heard it went really well which is great.

I was in the office to go over budget stuff with my boss and although I was nervous because it was my first budget meeting and I was going to have to tell Gary that I needed 2 more weeks at home, overall it was a great meeting. Funny enough people were supposedly taking bets as to whether I would actually return to work or not. I understand the thought process as my former boss as well as at least 4 other co-workers have left after returning for only a few weeks (or not at all) to stay at home with their kids.

As much as I would love to stay at home with Lincoln, I am actually just as excited to get back to work. Don't get me wrong, staying home would be awesome, but while he's little and can't remember anything I feel like it will be just as great to continue to work. We have a fantastic year ahead and I'm really excited about several of the projects I'm going to oversee. I'm taking it slow though...Thanks to saved up vacation I am going 3 days a week for the first 2 weeks, 4 days a week for the second and then full time from that point forward. I think it will be interesting to see how Tim and I will juggle working, having Lincoln and the pups, and keeping up with our house... It's going to be an adjustment going back, but I'm glad I have 2 more weeks to figure it out...
