This week Ollie and I are finally sleeping back in bed! Woot woot! We slept on the couch a lot for the last few weeks. We decided to buy a co-sleeper, it's like a bassinet and playpen in one. It's level to the mattress on our bed and the side drops down. He's literally right next to me but not in our bed. I love it! Now I don't have to worry about the covers going over his head or Jonny and I being squished with the baby in between us. The only down fall is.... I love my bed. Instead of popping right up to make bottles like I did on the couch, I opt for 5 more minutes of fussiness with my head on my pillow. Bad mom, I know! I know the exact tone in his fussy mood that means business and I push it to the brink every time.
I'm still dreading going back to work. Trying to get in as much cuddle time in with Ollie as possible, even though I know it won't ever be enough. Sooo much to do next week to prepare myself mentally, physically and emotionally. I've lost over 50 pounds after having Ollie but still have about 35 till I'm back to pre-preggo body. Buying clothes to go back to work in isn't going to be fun, but hopefully it will be more motivation to get my but into gear so I can bring out the skinny girl clothes again. I used to think it'd be easy wanting to go to the gym again. I love my spin classes when I'm there, but leaving Ollie is pretty hard still. Working all day and taking an extra hour to go workout seems so selfish, even though I know Ollie won't notice. My priorities have changed so much and I'd rather be spending time with Ollie. The good thing about going back to work is getting prettied up again. I'm so excited to get my hair, nails and toes done! Maybe throw in some tanning so I don't look like a pale ghost. Gotta look the part, right? I'm excited to get my first few weeks back under my belt and for things to start feeling normal.
