Back to Work

Tomorrow I head back to work after 12 wonderful weeks at home with Olivia, and I had no idea it would be this hard.  I always planned on returning to work, and that is what I am going to do.  The thing I misjudged was how hard that decision was going to be.  I knew I would love taking care of Olivia, and I do love it, but that's not the only responsibility of a stay at home mom.  I didn't realize how much I would love not only taking care of Olivia, but our home, and I think I got pretty good at it.  So it is with a heavy, but very full heart that I will return to work.

There are many opportunities I had growing up that I want to provide for Olivia.  There are so many adventures I want to have with her.  I am going to show her that she can have a career and a family, and then I am going to tell her how much I loved being at home with her, and how hard it was for me to return to work.  I hope that my daughter has all the opportunities I have had, and I will do the best I can to provide those for her.  

I'm so lucky to have a husband that supported my decision either way.  I know that Olivia will be well taken care of with her aunt, Marissa, and will enjoy playing with her cousins and the other kids at Happy Owls. 

 

She had lots to say today!

Liv, I love you more than you know and the best part of my day will always be coming home to you and Daddy.
