Nellie goes to work

I took Nellie in to Macquarie today so everyone who was so intimate with LP could now meet Nellie. As I was leaving I realised that I didn't take any photos! Poo Bum Wee! I do have a photo of her in her new dress (a gift from her great-aunty Barbara and great-uncle Tom) that she wore today. I cracks me up that she sleeps with her hands up in the air.


I am trying to figure out my return to work - when?, part time or full time?, which department?, etc. Happily I like working there and even more happily they are working with me to sort out my choices.

I am still trying to figure out the showing-Nellie-off protocol. She was in the Baby Bjorn and fast asleep but no-one could see her. So the decision is - do I take her out and possibly have her cry and/or scream or do I leave her attached to me to keep the peace? I did a bit of both. I also go to use the Mother's Room for a speed feed before I had to meet someone else at 4pm.

I realise that there are several people that I didn't get to see. Next visit may be more social. This one was mainly about seeing Shelley (we both got to experience our first catch-up with a baby in the room).

I thought Miranda's uterus was going to explode. She kept holding onto it.

We are both pooped! This trip required me to bring, Nellie, the nappy bag, the Boppy pillow, an umbrella and my purse! My stitches are straining a bit.

As I was leaving to meet Ari Kreith, the skies opened up and it poured down. I seems that every time I take Nellie out in a sling or bjorn it rains.

I am so hungry.
