I’ve officially survived my first two days at work post maternity leave. Being back at the office has been so bizarre. In some ways, it felt like an eternity since I’d been there. (And I’d say the back log probably supports that…) On the other hand, absolutely nothing had changed at all. I settled in pretty quickly almost like I’d never left. It has been easier than I expected in that way, and I’m thankful for it.
However leaving Layla every morning is still hard. On a positive note, I could not be happier to race back home at the end of the day. And Layla’s smiles make me think she’s pretty excited to see me too.

Glad your transition is going better than you thought. your cardigan is super cute!
Glad things are going well! I’m sure it’s hard being gone, but you must enjoy every moment together so very much! 🙂 That cardigan is super cute, too!
Love the print of that sweater. And I imagine those smiles make you melt every time 😀 Ahh babies 🙂
You look so cute! I am really loving the short hair on you. I’m happy things are going well!

Great outfit! It is so hard to transition back to work, but it makes that home time so much sweeter!
Glad you are starting to get used to the transition! I go back to work Friday and feel a bit nervous about it so it’s good to hear your experience. You look so adorable in this outfit!

I’m sure it is a little weird to go back to work, especially after your life has changed so much! Glad it offers some sort of comfort for you 🙂
Um, you look amazing, Lauren!!! WOW!!! These might be some of my favorite photos of you! I am happy to hear that you are settling back in at work. I know it’s hard to leave Layla, but it does get easier!! Promise.
Going back after maternity leave sounds hard! Really digging the cardigan though 🙂

It’s always so hard to get back into things after a lot of time off from work – glad you aren’t having too tough of an adjustment.
Love your comfortable, but polished look!
That cardi is SO cute! You look so simple and stylish. I love it!

That’s the positive side of working with kids, it makes you appreciate them that much more! And, when she’s older, she’ll appreciate you more too. Trust me, there was a point where I thought my daughter hated me just because I was always around her. Then, I got busier and busier with work and now she loves to see me come home 🙂 (ps thanks so much for linking up with The Collective!)
