Two Dead Soldiers

...photo taken coming home from the Park, last Friday - my last day of Maternity Leave. I go back to work on Monday, and I'm happy and sad. Happy because I like what I do; sad because I know I'm going to miss this adorable, sweet time in Rohan's life. I'm glad I have the opportunities I do, but I wish I could do everything and not miss a minute of the sweetness (the howling I could certainly do without...but I digress).

Note the different stroller - yes, the stroller-dealer Sherwood saga continues. The fancy, overpriced new Vibe stroller child harness broke (yes, broke!) after less than 10 uses - so I sent it back.




Instead, I bought this oh-so-practical double umbrella stroller. Though it's been called a Nanny Stroller by the Man of the House- this new Maclaren Twin Triumph is lightweight, easy to move / set up / store, was only 1/4 the price of the Vibe, and works like a charm. Perfect for the next 18-24 months while we still need a stroller for 2.



This shot is just a cute one of Rohan, showing his Banditry side well... he was often a fusser during BBC for no reason that I could easily discern. I think in general, he's got a more sensitive stomach than Deven; he definitely needs to be burped more and it takes him longer to get the burps up.

Just like when I went back to work after having Deven, I'm feeling that mix of excitement and sadness. Unlike when I went back last time, I am much more confident that I have excellent care for both boys, as well as a solid career that I am keen to prove myself at. I just hope life allows me to continue blogging; I have enjoyed this as much as I think some of you readers have.

...and the final snap is of Ross, the Baby Boot Camp trainer extraordinaire, holding Rohan so I could do a few more squats (aargh!).

(Final note: Apologies for the random, rambling post...will try harder next time!)
