Back to Work

Last week was my first week back to work after my 13 week maternity leave. Needless to say I was very anxious about my return - my transition with Anderson didn't go very smooth, but this time around was soooo different and Carter was a champ! Mark & I both went to take the boys to daycare for the "1st day of school" on Tuesday and I didn't even cry like I thought I would! I kept waiting for my tears to come, but they never did! I made 2 nervous calls to the childcare provider once I was at work and she had 2 great reports for me - Carter was taking the bottle & napping well! Praise the Lord!! I have to admit when we sent him to daycare, he hadn't exactly been taking the bottle very well. After about 2 weeks of "intense" bottle training he was OK at the bottle, but I certainly didn't expect the great reports about my little man chuggalugging all 3 bottles!! It looks like we'll be able to protect the routine & schedule we've worked so hard at and our childcare provider was very receptive to our 'Babywise' way.

When I arrived at work I expected to be inundated with emails & phone calls and a lot of 'catch up', but again another smooth transition! The fabulous lady who handled my business while I was out did a fantastic job and has made my return go extremely well. I am so thankful for her making my return easy!

Thanks to all my family & friends who prayed for our transition. I truly appreciated your calls & support!!
