Mourning our first day

So we all survived our first day back to work and school for the kids since having Campbell.....but it wasn't pretty! I spent the majority of my evening mourning the loss of how I pictured our first day going. Which I know sounds crazy but I'm a planner people! But I apparently set my expectations too high and feel miserably short! The day started off with Jackson having a meltdown and not wanting to stay in his new classroom. And by a meltdown, I mean the teacher had to pull him off my leg. While he was falling apart I had to hold myself together and take Campbell to her classroom and get her signed in and preped for the day. As bad as I felt for Jackson I also know that he was FINE or atleast would be fine in 10 minutes. Campbell had an okay day, but she wouldn't take her bottle or nap. This was all before 8:45am! Shesh!! I had meetings all morning, went back to Riverfield to feed Campbell, and then back to work. And as I was walking out the door to go pick up the kids I was told that I would be losing my office space and they were sure where I was going to move too! Oh.....goody!!!! So there it was, the perfect end to the not so perfect day.

The good news and the bad news is that we got to try it all over again today. Which I will say went a little bit better, but not great. Of course my expectations were far more reasonable. Gosh I hope Campbell gets into the swing of things and starts eating and napping. This poor baby went from sleeping 6 hours a day, during the day, to 30 minutes...uh yikes!

Here is for hoping this overwhelming feeling settles down a bit....soon!
