It's Saturday

and in the Hamilton household, that means Panera Bread. I just noticed, for the past month or so every Saturday Joe gets us bagels from Panera. I usually get a caramel frozen coffee. Today I was in the mood for something warm, so I got a regular coffee. and I will never make that mistake again. I'm not a coffee snob at all (i put so much cream and sugar in them that it barely resembles coffee), but this stuff is just craptastic. I think Joe wound up putting 7 giant scoops of sugar in it just so I could finish the cup.

In other news, it's also my last full day with Noah before I go back to work. I'm an emotional wreck and have been all week. Last night, I left him with Joe to run a few errands and he fell asleep before I got home. I sobbed for a good 5 minutes b/c I missed my nighttime snuggles and reading time. But Noah woke up 30 minutes after I got home and wanted to nurse, so I felt a little better. I just promised myself I'd always be there when it was bed time.

I'm doing a *little* better then I previously was with the whole idea of going back to work. I miss some of my co-workers and I'm looking forward to seeing them. But the long days are going to suck. It also sucks that I'm going to have to pump so much more. I just don't enjoy the pump at all. I have problems getting my nipple centered in the shield, or I pick the wrong size shield- and I wind up with blood blisters on my nipple or it starts peeling. all in all, not a pleasant situation. but it's important to me to continue nursing so I'll suck it up and pump.

Oh- and i'm a bad mommy that let the camera batteries die, so I have missed some excellent photo opportunities this past week-Noah played peek-a-boo with his bath towel after a bath! It was freaking adorable. He's also started laughing and shrieking. I can't believe how much he's changed already. I need to upload his 2 month photos before it's time for his 3 month photos!
