My first week back at work went very well, all things considered. The 10am-4pm schedule was the perfect way to ease back into things. As much as I was dreading it, Monday ended up being a great day! The babies were napping when I left the house a little before 9:00, so I didn't feel sad having to say goodbye to them. It even felt good to be commuting again! It is wonderful to be back in lab. I am so fortunate to have co-workers that I love, and they welcomed me back with open arms.
Unfortunately, though, Zoe has been sick since last Saturday. Both babies were fussy and crying when I left the house on Tuesday morning, so Day 2 was much harder after having such a good start to the week. I ended up taking her to the doctor on Wednesday and it seems she has a stomach virus that has been making its rounds through the JP community. The side effect of the virus is that she has horrible diaper rash which is making her far more miserable than the virus. As of last night Silas started vomiting so now he's got it too :(
Everything is working out great with Julia and I couldn't be happier having her here as a part of our family. The babies really seem to like her and I feel at ease knowing she is home with them once Derek goes to sleep. In terms of how Derek is faring this week, everything seems to be going well. Of course he is very tired on solo baby duty every day -- he commented that they have been keeping him busy!
Here's a picture of the sick, pasty babies. I love this one because Zoe seems to be saying, "what are you up to over there, brother?"!
