Working Girl

First week back to work: done.

And it wasn't bad. For starting again right off the bat by conquering 40 hours, I'm really prou of myself that it actually felt good to be back... Even though it was all training and policy/procedures stuff for the hospital this week. 

I won't start on the floor until next week, but I've already gotten a taste of what it will be like now, at least until September when I will finally be off orientation and onto my [awesome] schedule. I seriously feel so blessed to have gotten the 7/70 PM position. I can't even imagine trying to pull off a week at a time on nights with Jack at home and having to pump all day/night... Ouch.

So now, here I am, one week down and so happy. I found out this week the hospital's lactation areas have hospital-grade Medela pumps in each room so breastfeeding employees can keep up their supply while at work without having to lug their own pump around. Not to mention... The pumps there are like 10x better at expressing milk than my little ole pump n style is. 

So far, I'm feeling really blessed by what is coming about for us. I can't wait to see what God's got planned for us in the months ahead :)
