It's strange going back to work after six months' maternity leave. Easing back into things feels strange, as does being away from Max. I feel guilty - is that normal? It must be. But I think Remus is getting sick of all the messages I send him all day asking how the baby is.
But thank you, whoever left the used pacifier on my desk. Wrong colour, since Max is a boy and probably wouldn't appreciate pink, and I'd rather not give him something used, but the gesture was sweet.
What's going on in the world? I feel like I've been in a hole for the past six months.
