Shortest maternity leave ever.

I'm discharged from the hospital on Thursday at about 10:30 a.m. Since this is the arrival of a third child, Ted stays at work and my mom picks me up. We make a quick stop by DeeDee's for homemade doughnuts.

I leave the baby at home with his Mimi after lunch and head up to the office to verify that the crap I left on my desk on Tuesday was still there. (Good news! Crap had not magically taken care of itself.)

And that was it. So my maternity leave was officially three hours long. I was back in my chair within 48 hours of leaving it. I kept saying during my pregnancy that I was going to give birth in my chair. I came about as close as possible, although without the mess.

(FYI GoofyBaby is chilling with me even now as I'm typing with one hand... I'm in the office, just procrastinating).
