But here comes Monday! I go back to work on Monday and there have NO shortage of tears shed talking and thinking about this. I am so incredibly sad about going back to work but know that I am doing it for our family. With Graham being in school I really didn't have another option. We are very thankful that my Mom has agreed to come up and stay with us for a few months! This is so awesome because it allows us to keep Hadley out of daycare for a few more months and gives me an opportunity to get 'use to' the idea of leaving her with someone, and give us a chance to save a little money.... Especially since daycare here is literally 2ice as much as it is in Oklahoma.
I am sure I will have a few sad posts in the next couple of weeks but please bare with me! I am going try to see the positives it all. My Mom is so excited to spend so much time Hadley (and us) and I am happy that she is going to get to know her so well.
For the rest of the week I am just going to love my little girl every second of the day!
Say a little prayer for us in our transition next week.

I will be praying for you Jamie! :) I know it will be hard, I have been there before. I dont think it matters how long your maternity leave is, in fact I think it might be harder on you than people like me that go back after 6 weeks. If you need anyone to talk to please feel free to call me. I am sure you will be calling your mom all day long that first day back, just to check on Hadley. I know thats what I did. :)
ReplyDeletePraying for your strength during this time.
Love you!
You'll do great, James. I don't blame you at all - I know I would be feeling the same way. I'm so glad she gets to stay with your mom. That would make me feel a lot better too.
