Maternity leave was like a dream come true that I never wanted to end. This was the first time that I ever considered anything but working full time. I wanted to be there all day every day and I rarely thought about work. I loved being able to focus on the boys and give them my undivided attention and time. I have never enjoyed anything more in my entire life. But I knew it had to come to an end and I started back to work on January 17th.
I'm actually going to count the whole going back to work thing as a total success because I only cried in front of two co-workers and one boss and only called my mom to check in uh...oh I don't know probably four times that day (oops). But every day has gotten easier and the boys are adjusting to their new routine way better than I imagined they would.
Matt has been a huge help as well and has been getting up early in the morning to clean, wash bottles, and get the boys out the door so that I can go in to work early. I have been getting in around 7:30 every morning which means I head out the door at 4:30 and pick up the boys. This has given me so much more time at night to get chores done, play toys with Nathan, and get lots of snuggle time with Logan. We are falling into a pretty good routine and are getting a grasp on life again.
It's actually kind of nice to be back at work too. I think the anticipation of coming back to work was so much worse than actually coming back. I didn't realize how much I missed my co-workers and my job and actually just having some "me" time. But there is nothing better than walking in the door to pick up the boys and hearing Nathan squealing for me and seeing Logan's huge grin. There is nothing better than being a mom.
The boys first day at Grandma Lisa's.
