It feels like it was just yesterday we were anticipating the arrival of Lucas and here it is time to go back to work! Ugh! I can't believe we are coming up on him being 7 weeks old and my return to the world of employment. I have to say that I feel torn about going back. I look forward to a glimmer of my old routine and do love my career, but am so sad that this special time with Lucas as a newborn is ending. I am fortunate enough to be able to work from home or take him with me on Mondays and Wednesdays for awhile and have family watching him the first 3 weeks of my return. So thankfully he doesn't have to start daycare until the end of March and I will only be away from him 3 days a week. I still have my fears of leaving him and all of those thoughts that go through a mother's head like: will he be okay, what if I miss something, what if he cries a lot when I am gone, no one can take care of him like I can, etc. It is a scary thing leaving your baby for the first time, especially your first.
Well, Lucas know that I have enjoyed every minute of our 7 weeks together at home getting to know each other and bond as a family without any other stressors. It was so great even when you were crying and I was sleep deprived. Now we continue on our next adventure of trying to juggle work and motherhood. I know we will be fine with Daddy being the HUGE help that he is and us being a good team. So here's to the next chapter with you little man. The first was a blast.
