but also sorta relieved with a sense of success! But mostly, down
about it. Me, the workaholic, learned to be a stay- at -home mom. I
never thought it possible!
I will miss my leisurely mornings with Libster. We enjoy waking up
early, then she nods off for a good snooze and I get some work done
around the house. From there our day continues with walks around the
neighborhood, maybe an outing (I have loved seeing those that don't
work and experiencing their lifestyle). By the end of the day, we look
forward to Daddy coming home. Maybe I personal train someone, maybe I
take a yoga class.
Now, it's back to the grind. April 29th is my official start date
(who can believe she's almost 12 weeks old and weighing in at 12
pounds, 5 ounces!!). However, Libby's starting "school" Monday, the
26th. She will go for 3 hours and then a little longer Tuesday and
Wednesday before I hit her with an 8-hour day on Thursday. I hope
it's only hard on me and not on her.
Did I mention Libby will not take a bottle? So, I will go to work
early and nurse her beforehand. Then I drop by twice during the day
(every 3 hours) and one last feeding after work before we trek home.
That's the plan for now. I'm also sending her with a bottle every day
so maybe, maybe, they can get her to take it. Otherwise, we'll make
it.
So, for this week, I'm simply enjoying my time with Lib. We're gonna
do what we want, take our time, and enjoy being together. Well, she
doesn't understand her life is about to be turned upside down, but as
her mom, I'm gonna offer her a little extra snuggle time, mom time,
baby talk time... You name it!!!!
Elizabeth Anne Morris, I love you! XOXO
You're so sweet. Good luck with everything, Em.

ReplyDeleteEmily - I am glad that you have slowed down to enjoy your time off with Libby. These past 12 weeks have been a long time coming and you deserved every minute of it! Going back to work is going to be hard but you can do it. Any woman who can push for 3 hours can handle going back to work:) The blessing is that she is so close to you and you know she is in goods hands. I too cannot believe it has already been 12 weeks. Libby is adorable, you look great and JKV misses you:) I would really enjoying getting together soon and catching up. Once you get settled with your work routine let me know and let's get together. Take care and talk to you soon.
