Last Day at Home

Today, on this Sunday, Sept. 27, is the last day at home with our precious baby boy. Tomorrow I will be heading back to work for my usual 3 1/2 day work week. I know it doesn't seem like its been 6 weeks, but 6 weeks has come and gone, and it is time to resume to what may seem to be be SOME normalcy in our lives. Believe me, if I could stay off 2 more weeks, I would, but like I've said before, unless someone has a money tree they'd like to donate from, it's just not possible. I don't want to go back, but at least I have a job and co-workers that I love, and I don't have to work 5 days, just 3 1/2. Thank goodness that our Mills is going to be in GREAT hands. Aunt June is going to take such good care of Mills, and we couldn't be more happy about him staying with her, but that doesn't take away my fear of seperation anxiety that I may experience tomorrow and the rest of the week or weeks. Mills is going to be encountering so many new things, and I am afraid of missing out on them. I don't want to miss the first time he holds a rattle, sits up,or says his first word, and takes his first step. Life is life, and it seems like there aren't enough hours in the day to spend with him. There is so much to do today. I've got to get his bags ready, go and get his box of diapers and wipes to take with him, and spend every waking second with him until we part tomorrow. Please keep us in your prayers :)

I will be praying for you. It starts off tough, but each day gets easier. I still miss Maggie a lot of days while I am at work, but I know the time away from each other is good for the both of us (in my opinion).

I'm not going to tell you that it is not going to be hard. You will feel like you just handed your heart over to someone else...but it does get easier everyday. Good thing is that Mills, being the age that he is, probably won't skip a beat. He'll be great...No matter how long your maternity leave is...it is never long enough. We do what we have to do in order to provide for our children. I will be praying for you.

I will be thinking about and praying for you this week! Just take a box of tissues with you tomorrow in the car. I cried the while way to work the first time I left JO! (AND he stayed with Miss June, too, and she took really good care of him!) You are lucky that you only work 3 1/2 days a week. You'll still get some good time with your sweet baby boy during the week! Good luck!
