Alexa & I had a great trip to NY. I loved it there so much, I was trying to figure out how I could get Ava out there so that I could just stay until the wedding. It really was quite unrealistic though since I'm going back to work on Friday. More on that later though.
My sister's bridal shower was absolutely perfect. The weather was HOT, the food was great, there were lots of people, and most importantly, she really made out with lots & lots of gifts & gift cards! I'm so happy that they will have so much to furnish their new house with!
It was so nice to have time with my mom & my sister. Alexa really is such a happy baby. She smiles at everyone. Needless to say, my mom & sister just loved her. In fact, she was the hit of the shower.
I missed Ava while I was away, but I honestly savored every moment of having just one kid to take care of. It was so nice to not have a toddler to chase around. Hope that doesn't make me sound awful, but it was really a nice break!
So I'm sad to be back to reality, but we're all heading back to NY in a few weeks, so I'm not too sad. Usually I get pretty homesick after a trip to NY.
As mentioned earlier, I'm back to work on Friday. It looks like I'll keep my same Wed & Fri office hours schedule. I'm not looking forward to having to take phone calls again & deal with paperwork and stuff. I am going to bring Alexa with me for awhile since she mostly just sleeps during that time of the day anyhow. I hope it works out okay so that I can save on the cost of daycare for awhile. I know that I have a pretty good deal with this part time job, but I just don't feel ready to go back to work yet.
I was also feeling pretty good about my weight loss, until yesterday. Alexa is 2 months & 2 weeks old and I've lost all but the last 10 pounds. It took me a lot longer than that to get down to this point with Ava. I think she was 10 months old before I got to this point. But with my sister's wedding, I really want to get down a few more pounds. I haven't really been feeling into weight watchers, so I haven't been recording anything. I'm just not feeling motivated yet. However, yesterday I was at a bridal shop looking for a dress for my sister's wedding & the salesperson there told me that if I had given her more time, she could have ordered me a maternity dress. I was like, um, baby is 2 months old. I was actually pretty offended because I just spent the entire weekend hearing all these people at home telling me how great I look. Obviously I still have a pretty big gut!

Sounds like you had a great time! How exciting that you get to go back in a few weeks!
Ugh, those last 10 pounds are the worst!! I still look pregnant too. Have to keep reminding myself that it took many months to come off last time, but I'm impatient!
What a rude salesperson, sounds like she's in the wrong line of work. Someone thought I was pregnant when we were on our honeymoon. SO RUDE! I like and follow Dave Barry's rule: if you don't see a baby exiting a woman's body, never assume she's pregnant.
