I'm sorry that this post is coming before my Easter post but it has to be done. That being said, an Easter post will be generated, soon.
I went back to work this past Tuesday. I had 9 wonderful weeks off with my son. Do I wish I could have had more time off with him? Of course. But it was time to come back to work and interact with other humans. The way I look at it. I had 9 weeks off during the longest and the most boring time of the school year. We only have 8 weeks left now and then I get the whole summer off with both of our babies! I can do this!
So the eve of my first day back I was literally racing against time. The day flew and once the evening got to me I had to kick it into high gear and get things in order. Luckily the week before I had rounded all of Camden's items for daycare up, labelled them, and sent them with Justin. He dropped them off on his way to work. (Thanks babe!) So I had to get outfits ready, lunches packed, coffee pot ready, and I even had Camden's bottle and Addyson's choc. milk ready to go in the fridge! I didn't want any hiccups in the morning. I did not want to be rushed feeding Camden or helping Justin getting Addy ready. I also did not want to be late on my first day back. However, I think they would have understood!
Camden went down around 820 and Addy was asleep before 9 pm. I was able to sit down and unwind around 915. I looked back at my time off with Camden, looked at pictures and felt my uterus seriously ache. The last time I was at work, Camden was with me, inside me, and now he was going to be at school, with his sister. I couldn't believe it. I kind of didn't really feel numb until that moment. I didn't really think too much about it prior. Even though I was ready to come back, mentally, in my heart I wanted to be home. Thankfully I know the teachers that Camden would be with and that we already did this with Addyson. She loved the cradle room at school. She loved the teacher and I know he will do great there.
I was actually able to fall asleep and stay asleep. My alarm went off at 5AM. Yes thats right 5AM. Working parents with 2 kids to get ready plus ourselves. You bet we were getting up early! I got my self almost completely ready before waking Justin up at 6AM which is early for him too. When he was showering I got dressed and brushed my teeth. Addy managed to wake up earlier than we planned on but it worked out because she can be really hard to wake up. I got her outfit out and got her dressed. That was to be Justin's job around 7 but he was still getting ready and I was able to do it since Cam was still sleeping.
I then got Cam up and dressed. I then sat and fed him while we watched cartoons with Addy. Justin got his car loaded and I passed Camden onto him. Justin did good with them and it helped me not get too emotional. He loaded them into the car while I rounded my stuff from the kitchen. I walked out just as he was starting to leave the driveway. I waved and headed on my way!
I did really well while at work and even stopped myself from calling daycare on mylunch break. Even though I'm sure they wouldn't mind. I was so happy when I was able to leave work and go and pick up my babies!
Love
