Approved!

So - after talking with my employers, they've approved my proposal for coming back to work with baby!  Fantastic!  Step one out of the way!  Shower is in 2 weeks, we'll see what we get then and what I need to bring to work with me.  I may be able to get some of the costs shared, since most employers are required by law to provide a place for a woman to breastfeed/pump that isn't the bathroom.  I'm thinking I'll need a nice plush rocker for that:

Nice huh?  We'll see, maybe I can find one on craigslist or ebay for considerably less.  I was also thinking about donating one to our meeting hall.  We have 3 women due in the next 6 months and no breastfeeding amenities!  Boppys, rockers, changing supplies.  I think I'll build a stash there AND here.

On another note - I know not everyone is as fortunate as me in being able to bring baby to work, or even get a decent amount of time off to bond with baby.  In case you've been looking for info, check out the working moms group here: http://community.babycenter.com/groups/a185/working_moms.  There are probably lots of other moms asking the same questions!

PS - If you are interested in more detail as to what/how to present to your employer who may be interested in allowing baby at work, feel free to message me and I'll be happy to share!
