Back to work for mom
I have to say it was very hard for me to go back to work after being off for those seven weeks after having Reveille. I was so used to seeing her all day that being apart was very loney. I have a tendency to get depressed getting up at 5:00am in the dark and driving an hour to work. All the while fighting to stay awake made this transition even harder. I was also returning to a new schedule for my classes which added to my worries. I am also still breastfeeding so the idea of managing pumping with my new schedule was harder still. It does help to know that my Mom is watching Reveille while I’m at work and also that jon is home if he is needed. When I returned the first week everyone was very caring and supportive. The students greeted me warmly and some even cheered. They all had questions about Reveilles current condition. Working with such great people helped ease my concerns. Now I’m just looking forward to the entire summer with her, the puppies and of course Jon.

Hi Jon & Heather, I just wanted to tell you what a wonderful chat I had with Revie last weekend. As she sat on Grandpa Larry’s lap, we talked about all sorts of things with her laughing and cooing at my attempts to amuse her. After about 15 minutes of deep and meaningful dialogue, she got tired of studying and trying to eat the telephone and was ready to go to Grandma Ruthie. Her sounds got a little more anxious - like, let’s cut this off - NOW! She sounds so happy and is surrounded by loving family. Have a good summer, Aunt Sandra
