Is Mommy ready?


Over the past few weeks, I’ve been trying to emotionally prepare myself to go back to work. As I write this post, I have four days left at home. I start back to work on Wednesday, May 7th . I know it’s not going to be easy even though Noah will be home with Daniel until late July.

The other day I had ‘a moment’ when I was feeding and rocking Noah. I cried to Noah and told him everything would be ok, but Mommy would miss him every day when she went to work. As I rocked and poured my heart out to my son, he smiled and laughed at me, he appeared to think it was funny. I know Autumn would say you just wait until he’s nine and see what he says to you then.

If you ask Daniel he’ll tell you I worry (or some days obsess) over little things that most wouldn’t worry about. I think it’s that new mother syndrome, everyone claims you get once you have a child. Most of my worries are about how Noah will adjust when we transition him to daycare, which is three months away.

I am thankful that I’ve been able to spend three months home with Noah. I am blessed to have such a supportive husband, family and friends.
I love it when Noah:
- holds my finger so tight when I breastfeed him
- smiles and laughs at me
- turns away from me like he’s shy
- plays with his Daddy

I could go on and on, but will save the others for another post. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we make our first ‘big’ transition since Noah’s birth.
