Last week at home

New PJs from grandma and the piggy bank mommy painted

After a nice weekend of visiting down in PDX I am now trying to enjoy my last week at home with Henry. I say trying to enjoy because I am so worried about next week I am having to make a concerted effort to be in the present and soak in these last few days. I know I am returning part time, and that we have the best possible child care solution set up but its still hard. It is going to be a tough transition but I hope that after a few weeks it will feel a bit better. It has been such a wonderful 5 months at home, I really did not know how I was going to feel being at home with a baby all day and it turns out.....that I love it! Sure there are moments or even afternoons where I feel a bit crazy but all in all its great. Henry and I have a routine and schedule down and he just gets more iterative and lively every day, I will miss having everyday with him.

On the other hand I am actually looking forward to going back to work a bit and getting back into the mix. Then feel guilty that I do.....oh the woahs of motherhood. No matter which road a mom chooses she will always have mixed emotions, and its hard no matter what you choose. To be continued.....
