This week has been hard. I returned to work yesterday after 12 weeks of maternity leave and it was SOOOOO tough!! I think the days leading up to going back to work were actually harder than the day I left him. Every time Josh would smile at me, I was thinking "what am I going to do when I can't play with him all day and see all of his gummy grins?" Every time he would cry I would think "nobody else knows what to do to make my little guy happy again like his mommy!" Needless to say, there have been lots of tears cried this week! I think I did very well yesterday though. I cried off and on while I got ready for work and a little in the car on the way there, but then I was fine once I got to the hospital. Then, I had an awesome surprise! The floor wasn't super busy, so I got to leave after only 5 hours of work!!! I should have known God had a plan for getting me through my first day back! As sad as I am about going back to work and leaving Joshua, I am extremely blessed to have been given a son that I love so much I can't stand to leave and also to be able to work part-time so that I can spend a lot of time with my family!
My husband and mom have been incredible this week and I definitely couldn't have gotten through it without them! Thank you Andrew for being an amazing dad to Josh and for being supportive of me! Mom, thank you so much for being willing to watch Josh for me. I couldn't have left him with anyone else yesterday! You are a wonderful mother and now a wonderful Nana as well!
(Ha! It sounds like I just won an award and am giving a speech! Seriously though, my family is a huge blessing!)
