So, from the title of the post, I'm sure you can figure out that it's a very sad day in my world!
Today is the day I've been dreading since I found out I was pregnant last year. Today, I got the all clear/released to go back to work!!! LOL. I know that there are far worse things in the world than being healthy enough to work, but to me, it means missing out on 32-40hrs per week of my girls growing up. I missed Teagan's first step because I was at work. I missed tucking her in 3nights a week for the past 2.5 years. I missed so many smiles, laughs, stories, etc...I HATE to think of everything I missed and it makes me sad I'm about to return to work and miss more of not only Teagan's life, but now Emmersyn's as well!
Oh well, I guess it's part of life. I would LOVE to be able to stay at home with my girls and have the perfect house, and have dinner cooked nightly, but that's not realistic for us. My job provides not only the insurance for me and the girls, but also extra money so we don't have to worry about not going on vacations, or having cell phones, or just using the charge card when we WANT something we really don't NEED. And, in case you missed it, we have a new baby to buy food and diapers for! LOL (I'm sure no one missed that)

It is sad, but I'm sure Matt enjoys those nights of tucking in your babies - I love the set up and sacrafices you two make.
ReplyDeleteI remember crying the day I went home from the hospital with Lucas because I had one less day of maternity leave left. It is so hard to leave your babies but it is good you have Matt to be there when you can't.
