So it has been a wonderful 6 months, but I am now back at work. I am working remotely this week to give myself 1 more week of rest on my back. The choreography is actually great because I get to be here with Jennifer, Miles' new nanny to help get her used to our little man. I have tried to stay out of their hair so that Miles can get used to her and so she can get used to him. Overall, it has been really positive - I've heard lots of giggles coming out of the playroom. They haven't quite gotten into the rhythm of eating and napping that I had Miles on, but I am confident that they will get there. Miles gets really excited having new people around him and playing new games so he doesn't let himself relax and show his tired signs - once the novelty of Jen wears off, I think the two of them will settle nicely into a routine.
Yesterday, the two of them were playing in the playroom and they came out and Miles had no clothes on... apparently he puked up so much he drenched his entire outfit, and covered a good part of Jennifer as well. She changed him, and it is great to know that she puts him in outfits that match!!! (unlike his father...)
We're actually doing a nanny share, so in a couple more weeks, the two of them will be joined by Auggie, another little boy who's mom doesn't start work until mid-October. I am glad that Jennifer and Miles can get into their own rhythm before Auggie comes into the picture - it should make the transition easier for both of them.
As for me - it is really bittersweet. I had to go into the office on Tuesday to meet with the ergonomics consultant and be measured for a new standing desk with a high chair. I coupled that with 2 other meetings where it was better to be in person than over the phone. I basically left Miles and Jennifer for 6 hours - and driving out of our driveway was the hardest thing I have ever done.
