Monday was my first day back at work after welcoming Everett into our lives and I survived. I didn't realize I could miss that precious face so much, miss changing poopy diapers during the day or being a slave to nursing but I did. Thankfully he was in the amazing care of his Mimi. I am incredibly blessed and thankful to have an Aunt who is so much more and is able to watch him when he cannot be with me. There is truly not a better more loving place for him to spend his days. Around 3:30 they came by for a visit, Aunt Tammy knew I would be needing a little pick me up. Everett didn't hardly notice the differnce, I am not sure he even realized he was away from me all day and certainly had no idea of the agony I was going through without him. But we both made it through and I for one was so excited to get home to be Mommy again. Luckily this separation will only happen 3 times a week as I get to be home with him on Tuesday and Thursday.
We are wading through the changes, the new routines and still discovering each other. With this new routine Drew and I are now switching nights out with each other so one of us will get to sleep a full night. My first night since having Everett and not getting up with him was last night and although I woke up when he cried at 4 am I was grateful for his Daddy who soothes him and takes care of his needs to give me a break.
I am so thankful for my little family and look forward to the evenings when we can just be together.
