I made it!

Thanks everyone for your kind thoughts and well-wishing regarding my return to work. As usual, the anticipation and the dread was much worse than the actual event. It really wasn't so bad - it even felt good, in a way, to be back. I knew Gus was hanging out with his papa at home and having a good ol' time while I was working, which helped tremendously. And I was able to sleep pretty well in between my shifts.

So we are back in somewhat of a routine. It is safe to say all the preciousness from the birth has passed, and we are now just one happy, new family going about our lives. But that is a great feeling as well!
