This is it.

The countdown to work has begun...it's depressing. Maternity leave this time was WAY better than with Presley. I think I was much more comfortable, I was definitely busier and Piper is just an easier baby! I enjoyed it this time! I didn't take a nap, I didn't read a book. I was busy around the house, running errands, shopping, trying to spend good, quality time with both Piper and Presley, together and seperately and of course, spending time on FB (important stuff!).
The laundry is done, the house is 'clean', grocery shopping is done until this weekend, Christmas shopping is done (except for one gift that is Steve's responsiblity!), Christmas cards are mailed, bills are paid, the credit card has not been used but the savings account has! The diaper bag is packed, my mom's house is ready for Piper, we still haven't gone to seen Santa and there is snow on the way but the car is filled with gas and I'm 'ready' for work tomorrow.

I need to be thankful that I was able to take 10 weeks off, that I have a job to go back to, that I have wonderful daycare for both of my girls. And thankful that the next 3 weeks will be short weeks for me and I have a week of vacation in January! :)
