I Know!!!

It seems like I'll never catch up. . .not on my Things To Do List, My Phone Calls, My Scrapbooking, My Ironing, My Laundry, My Baby Projects, My Photography, and of course My Blogging.
So what's a new mommy to do. . .Pick up where you are and roll with it. So the world has been missing insights into the Gardin Fam. But trust me when I say, it's hard out here for a mommy. Not to mention I'm a professional breastfeeding mommy so after rising at 5 am to pump, hoping that I don't disturb my sleeping beauty (who if she does wake needs to be nursed), get ready for work, drive 40 minutes to work, work 10 hours (3 days a week), taking frequent breaks to "pump" (baby's gotta eat), save/lives and restore quality to life (i.e. work), drive 40 minutes back home, feed/play with baby, wash baby, cook/eat (sometimes), talk/chat with hubby, squeeze out a quick shower for myself, get in the bed. . .by the time I sit on the bed the internet or a blog is the LAST thing on my mind. I mean don't get me wrong, I think of stuff to write all the time, but it's the posting that poses a problem. Especially since this website is blocked on my work computer. Which annoys me. . don't they realize that it's when I'm at work that I get to "do stuff" that I can't find the time to do at home.
Since my return to the working world, I have come to several conclusions:
When you're still nursing, I don't think there is a day that will go by without forgetting SOMETHING at home or in the car. 2 days ago I PROUDLY arrived at work a whopping 15 minutes early only to discover that I'd left my wallet at home in the baby bag.
When you're nursing and working, it's probably not a good idea to walk with your pumped milk through the hospital halls.
When you're nursing and working in an older facility that has not met state regulations to provide a designated area for "pumping," that it's not a good idea to wait until it's unbearable to find a place to pump.
Believe me I have a whole list of these revelations but I won't bore you. . .
Little Miss Sunshine is growing by leaps and bounds. I put her on her tummy a few nights ago and she promptly propped herself up on her hands and held her head proud and high. So exciting for her. She's doing great. One night about a month ago I was walking around with her in my arms and I looked to the side and realized that the bobble head is gone. She was posted up looking at everything that I was looking at. She LOVES to see stuff light up. I was gonna say she loves television but I think she's actually intrigued by the lights on the TV. So when the cell phone lights up, TV, or her glow worm she's automatically tuned into it. She's a people watcher too. She's always looking at people like what exactly are you doing. She loves to talk, loves to be sung to, loves to be outside, loves to have her toes out, loves to get in the bathtub. . .she's just a happy baby with a lot of love for this world. She continually amazes me.

She's already started her college tour. She's been to WSSU and of course UNC-CH. . .so we're going to see which school she likes best. I've posted her pictures online so feel free to watch her 0-3 month shots.

Stay tuned b/c there's always more to come.
