So being at work is hard. Today is the
\n first day I haven’t gone home at lunch time and it looks like
\n this may have to be the norm going forward. One of the
\n activites required of me at my new job is to run a series of
\n webcasts, all of which have been scheduled from 12:00pm –
\n 1:30pm EST… which definitely cuts into my long lunch breaks.
\n So now I’m torn. I want to do the job well, obviously, and
\n don’t want to be difficult on my first week here, but I also
\n want to make sure my baby gets the best care possible. So I’m
\n basically giving myself a self-induced guilt trip. :\/ On top of
\n that, I really don’t like pumping at work. Well, I don’t like
\n pumping in general, but I like it even less at work. And I
\n really miss my boys! Just pile on the guilt. I keep reminding
\n myself that tons of people go back to work and leave their
\n babies with caregivers, and I’m leaving mine with daddy, so
\n there is no need for guilt. Unfortunately I’m not very good at
\n reassuring myself. I’m going to have to talk to Alan soon so he
\n can reassure me. He’s good at that :) For now I’ll just try to
\n concentate on work and try not to miss him too much. The end of
\n the day is nearing…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
