Day One

Woke up to an alarm clock instead of a Quynh fussing or Tai announcing, "It's time to wake up!"

Showered.

Put on maternity pants (sigh) and long loose fitting top carefully selected to hide belly, and fact that pants are intended for pregnant women.

Finished packing four lunch bags just in time to hear Tai emerge from his room.

Breakfast.

Took way too long selecting Quynh's outfit for the First Day of School, all the while knowing how ridiculous I was being. Somehow, it had to be cute, but not so cute that anyone would know I had put thought into it. I wanted her to be able to pull off the coy, "oh, this old thing?" look.

Nursed Quynh. Burped Quynh. Spit-up everywhere. Changed self into Carefully Selected Outfit #2. Changed Quynh into Outfit Number 2, less carefully selected.

Family of four out the door, only 15 minutes past Goal Time.

Arrived at work.

Chatted.

Pumped.

Tended to personal emails. Read work emails.

Ate "lunch" (10:30am).

Read more work emails.

Pumped.

Chatted. Looked over work To Do list (updated last on May 27th) and tried to remember what it is I do for a living.

Took care of a little online shopping.

Pumped.

Picked up kids. Went home and played with Tai. Nursed a hungry and exhausted Quynh.

Dinner. Playtime. Bathtime. Bedtime.

Washed a mountain of dishes, bottles, and pump parts.

Fell into bed and was asleep before my head hit the pillow (oh wait....not yet...maybe in about 30 more minutes).
