A Working Mom

I'm back at work this week.

Leaving a seven-week-old to go to work is tough. I miss him a lot.

I keep finding myself staring at photos of him. Especially these photos that Nick took with his camera after the Christmas party at work:

To be honest, I expected to be much more emotional. The only time that I cried (so far) was last night. And that was because he looked bigger to me - like he grew while I was at work. I was sad to have missed it.

I realized that I missed work, though, too. It's nice to be back in my office again. It made me feel more like me again.

I realized how much I missed car pooling with Bryan to and from work every day. We've been non-stop chatter boxes the entire time. (This morning we discussed nostalgic television shows that we watched when we were growing up.)

I miss Isaac, but I'll get to see him today in just a few hours, and tomorrow I get to work from home! Yay for that! : )

He is darling....and you will miss him...........but he will thank you much later in his life for everything you do for him and buy for him. It will all work out...................Promise!
Good luck.

Hi! I'm glad that you found someone that you trust so close to work. I know having him close will be comforting for you! I sure had fun with him on Monday, and I'm sure Grammy enjoyed having him visit on Tuesday. We love our baby Isaac!!

Love, Nana oxxoxoxoxoxo
