Going back to work

Well, today is my last day of maternity leave! I will officially be back to work tomorrow (Friday). It has been a fun and interesting 8 weeks. Luckily, we've already tested Ellorah out in daycare, so at least I won't be too traumatized by that. : ) Yesterday she had to go get her shots, that was just horrible. I don't know which was worse, the visit to the ER or watching her get 5 shots, and screaming up at her daddy and I with those little pleading eyes! She's up to 10 lbs. 8 oz. now and has grown 2 1/4 inches in the past 4 weeks! So, she's now 22 1/4 inches long. No wonder all those new clothes are too short. She's been doing really well sleeping at night, still waking up every 3 or 4 hours or so to eat, the other night she went from 7:45 p.m. to 1:20 a.m., so that was a nice stretch of sleep! She's smiling a lot more now and seems to really be more interested in what's going on around her, so that is great. Hopefully she'll sleep good tonight so I can get a good rest before work tomorrow (hope I didn't just jinx myself).
