Work!

Yeah, I said the "W" word. I went back to work this week. One thing that eased the return was the fact that I am able to bring Wyatt with me to work. For those who don't know, I work at a church as a Youth Director so things are quite flexible in these regards. I am lucky to be able to do this because since Wyatt is only 7 weeks old I didn't want him to have to go to a daycare yet. Since I only work 20 hours a week and work only on Wed. and Thurs (and Sundays) it isn't that hard to do. It went pretty well with all things considered. Wyatt did have a pretty hard time on Wed. I think it was probably because he was in a new setting with new smells, new people, unfamiliar sleeping place (a new Pack n Play) and he became quite cranky by the end of the day (he did sleep pretty well that night though). Thursday was quite a bit better but not great. He slept more even if most of it was in my arm. As long as I have at least one arm free I can get work done but it does make typing a bit slower. I think I might try my front pack next week so I can have two hands free and let him sleep on my chest.

Also, Bert is going to school. The program he is in is an auto mechanic program that has an internship component to it. With this program he is in classes for 7-8 weeks and then goes to his internship for 8+ weeks each semester. This semesters classes started on Jan. 14th, which was only three days before Wyatt was born. This means up until now Bert has had to do a lot of studying when he was home and wasn't able to spend as much time with Wyatt as he would have liked. That all changed today: his classes have ended!! He is very happy and relieved about this and can't wait to spend more time with Wyatt.
