Dreading Tomorrow

It's here...tomorrow is the day I have been dreading since the day Mason was born.  Tomorrow I go back to work.  I know what you're thinking...but its so soon!  Trust me, I'm thinking the same thing.  Unfortunately, my office did away with FMLA before I got pregnant and because of circumstances that were put into place when it was removed, I was only able to take 6 weeks for maternity leave.  Not my ideal, not what I had always pictured when I thought about maternity leave, but unfortunately, it's the cards I've been dealt.  To make matters worse, I feel like the 6 weeks I have had with our little monkey has flown by WAY too quickly.

Unfortunately, this is one of those times where everything is out of my control, like so many other things about raising a baby. We are lucky though.  Since Mason hasn't had his shots yet, we are not ready to put him in daycare.  So for the next six weeks my mother in law is watching him during the day.  I am requesting to work from home one day a week to both give my mother in law a day to get things done, and also to help me ease into being away from him so much.  Starting in December he will be attending day care at a great facility two days a week.  I know that he will be the most popular guy in school once that happens!

Here's to my survival tomorrow.  I actually have a really early morning so not only am I leaving my little monkey, but I am leaving him before he even wakes up in the morning...it's going to be a long day....

 October 12 - Definitely Most Wanted!

 October 13 - In the words of his Saba after seeing the onesie "Not for long!"

 October 14 - A little delayed in finding out the news about the Braves. This was his reaction to the bad call!

October 15 - A wonderfully happy baby on his last full day with Mommy
