3 months have come and gone and my baby has started to babble, I'm back at work and finally feel like like I can put together some thoughts to post. But where do I begin ?! Should I start with my return to work? How I feel about Motherhood? My baby's milestones? Disgusting postpartum experiences?
Last week I finally returned to work and joined the real world once again. After the birth, I spent the first 2 months doing absolutely NOTHING other than be and bond with the luvbaby. Night rolled into day and I had no idea what day or what time it was. It was at the same time hedonistic, timeless and challenging-- with new experiences, feelings and responsiblities. Most of my time was spent somewhere between a dreamstate and sleeplessness fueled by my new mother instincts and adrenaline. The body was still in pain the first weeks, yet there is the joy of a new baby as well as those crazy letdown of emotions. I remember sleeping alot, cuddling alot and watching a whole lot of Oprah.
After the 2 months I spent being very corny, I started to work from home during the third month and it kinda help ease me back into civilian life. I hadn't even gone outside much during my leave, or talked to an adult for a while and I was nervous when the maternity leave was coming to an end. Surprisingly, tranisitioning back to work was relatively easy...I count myself as the lucky ones, I can work from home a couple days a week! So now I'm a MOM. A modern working mom--but I'm sitting here at work still in my cammo pants, flip flops, long hair, skull shirts..Still stealing music off the internet while I should be working. Yeah, I'm still a rebel. NO mom jeans here baby....Ooops 6 pm, gotta go home to the baby! I'm still a rebel but I'm also a momma.
