Clothes laid out, bags packed, but still not ready!

Well, my clothes are laid out, my bags and lunched are packed, but I still want more time with my baby! That is right, I am returning to work tomorrow. All prayers are welcomed. I have felt the love of family and friends with phone calls and notes in the mail encouraging me. God has blessed me with a wonderful job where I can take three months off and still have job security, a husband that cooks(I blame him for me not losing all my pregnancy weight yet) :) and doesn't hesitate helping with Adalyn, parents that would do anything for Jared & me, and a daughter that is such a good baby. So, as I am driving to work in the morning, I just have to continually say that to myself. "I am blessed...I am blessed...I am blessed."

To Adalyn- These have been the best three months of my life. I love you.

  6. I hope your first day back is going well! I bet you are a little overwhelmed right now, but you will be back in the groove in no time, and I hope you will find that it makes you a better mommy. Your baby is going to look up to you and appreciate this one day, I promise. I love my son, but I love my job too, and now I have the best of both worlds. It really is a blessing.
    Best wishes, Shaya!

  7. Hope it is getting a little easier heading back to work each day. I know it would have to be hard to get in a routine after those 3 months off...and now leaving a precious little girl for part of the day. Just think summer will be here before you know it...and no work for you!! Lucky!!
