The honeymoon is over

Today was my first full day back to work since Emmett popped out two weeks ago. Unfortunately Emmett decided that today would be his first full day of not being a happy, sleepy baby. Apparently Emmett rested and relaxed until around 11:30 this morning and then decided that he would be whiny and want to feed constantly from then until just before I arrived home at 6:00pm when he would finally take a nap and pretend to be an angel for me. I was not fooled by the sleepy one as Andrea had called me around 4:30 telling me that the lunch she had prepared for herself just as the whole episode was starting was still sitting on the table, uneaten. At least we have pictures like the one at left to remember when he was still a peaceful child.

It is no fun going back to work and leaving Andrea and Emmett in the morning. Luckily we have our second pediatrician appointment tomorrow for which I will be returning after only a half-day of work. We will find out if Emmett is back to birth weight then----perhaps making weight tomorrow is the reason for the 6 hour feeding frenzy that occurred today?

i can't believe it's already been two weeks. too bad you have to go back to work. i'm sure emmett will get over his fussiness - he's prolly just missing you. :)
