Well, today is my last day of maternity leave. It’s been twelve weeks that I never could have imagined would go by so quickly! I am pretty anxious about starting back to work. I don’t know if it’s excitement, regret or a mixture of both. If you had asked me four weeks ago if I was ready to go back to work, I would have jumped at the opportunity. I even had the fleeting thought of starting back to work early. However, now that I’ve gotten into a mama-groove and Evie is starting to be quite adorable (smiling and babbling and such) I am not at all looking forward to leaving her.
Luckily, I am fortunate enough to only be going back to work part-time. I will work three days a week and my mother and mother-in-law will watch Everleigh while I’m gone. I’m so thankful that they’re willing to sacrifice their time to watch the little one. I’d rather they get to experience the things I’ll miss than some stranger!
Sorry for such a short post today, but I’m going to soak up every minute with my little beauty… even if that means watching her while she sleeps…
