I start back to work tomorrow and I have mixed emotions. I really enjoyed my maternity leave and spending every day for the past 3 months with Lucas has been a true blessing. I have learned watching him sleep in my arms can waste away the majority of the day and I have enjoyed every moment of it. Forget the laundry or the dirty floors or dinner for that matter! He is such a good baby and it is going to be so hard to be away for him tomorrow. On the other hand, being a SAHM (stay-at-home-mom) is really tough! It is a thankless job and I so admire the moms I know that do it every day (my sis and my mom!)
I got pretty far on my "maternity leave to-do list". We went on countless walks and I even attempted to organize the mudroom. Here is a pic of the curtains I made for his room that I finished yesterday....just in the nick of time!
And the work on the deck continues...
And finally a picture of our cute boy (hat made by ya-ya!)
Awww what a cute smile! Can't believe how time flies - your maternity leave is over already??
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the first days back will be tough, I'll be thinking of you!
OH my! I feel for you Megs. Let's talk soon....lots of supportive love to your transition. What a blessing that leave time is as you get to know each other. He's adorable and Zach sure knows how to work major machinery!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I never got a chance to call and catch up before you went back to work - I can't believe it's already here! We are thinking of you during this change . . . Lucas is so cute in his orange hat. Hope to chat soon :) Hannah
