Easing back

The end of this month with bring the end of my maternity leave. I've heard so many new moms complain about going back to work and how they just want to be at home with their little one. Well, throw me off that bandwagon. While I love little Rhianna as much as any mom could love her baby, I'm very excited to head back to work. When the baby finally made her appearance, my world seemed to go from professional know-her-stuff designer to floundering new mom covered in spit-up and baby poo. While I'm sure I won't be able to free myself from the poo and barf, a little adult conversation mixed in the day will be a great relief.

In other news, last weekend was Aspen and Josh's wedding. It was beautiful. Her friends and family are a blast and the ceremony was quite a tearjerker. The bride was stunning. David and I left Rhianna with her grandparents and got to spend the whole day doing wedding things -- it was great. I felt relieved not to be holding the center of attention (baby) all day and get the chance to focus on other things. There was a point in the evening where I realized I had a baby to go home to and felt a little strange. It was great though. Special thanks to grandma and grandpa for giving us some adult time :)

Well, that's all for now, baby calls :)
