All the things I am doing while NOT worshipping at the altar of O

It's amazing how things you used to do without a care in the world...eat breakfast, clean the kitchen, blow dry your hair, go to the bathroom...now become guilt ridden activities that detract from the precious few moments left with your baby before you return to work. I had and am having a huge side of guilt with my morning coffee (even though O is sleeping right now).
On the brighter side, I can see why maternity leave is three months. I am just starting to feel "normal" during the day. I think I can physically fool myself and others that I can do my job once I return.
On the less brighter side, Olivia slept 6 hours last night, which is technically baby sleep-through-the-night, but awaking at 3:45 am is not mommy sleep-through-the-night. I don't like this trend.
On the brighter brighter side, Olivia is talking more and more lately (in "goo" speak) and she is getting stronger in her neck and her legs. She can hold her head up like a pro and kick the SH#$ out of you if her legs are pointed in your direction. Oh, I am so proud!
