May, already?!

It's the month of May and my maternity leave is almost over. Mixed feelings about heading back to work, because it is nice not to have to travel over an hour just to head into office, yet at the same time taking care of Ian on a bad day means a gruelling 24-hour job with hardly any rest. However I will be returning to a different Changi, since my chummy colleague Thilan who has seen the best and worse of me during my pregnancy and days before that would have left, leaving me, the last of the original 4 Nelson scions to reminisce about the glorious days past. We grew closer over the course of the last year or so, since Ewil Jan started the ball rolling by announcing her departure, followed by good ole Chamath, and now it's his turn to say goodbye. Yes, despite having dealt with life's possibly greatest change over the last 9 weeks, heading back to work to a new face is one change too many. It's a lose-lose situation - heading back to work means I will definitely miss my son, and did I also mention 3 months worth of work to catch up on? Pain, so much pain...
