It was a good run...

...but it was eventually time to go back to work for good. Tomorrow I go back to work. I had went back for a week-ish but then took maternity leave for an extra 10 days. It doesn't sound like a lot but I was lucky enough to have the whole summer, go back for a week to go to some meetings and get a little grasp on the new job, and then come home and spend more time with my kids. I found myself sad today. I'm excited to get back to work and dive into this new position and hopefully make it successful but I really enjoyed the time with Caylee. I didn't have to go back to work with Aiden until he was 3 months, so I'm cutting myself a little short of that with her. Today Caylee is 11 weeks old is at that smiley stage that makes every moment looking into her beautiful face amazing. I'm going to miss having that all day. She discovered and loves her hands and always has them in her mouth. She talks and coos more and she makes us laugh. I can not wait until she giggles...I'm so excited. I held her today as she slept and cried a little as a farewell, I guess, to our extended time. I have to be thankful for that time. I'm a career mom and I accept that...it just kinda sucks when you get used to the luxury of ample amounts of time with your kids. I was able to take Aiden to the library in the middle of the week, in the middle of the day and I was able to take him to and from school. So today I mourn a little but look forward to getting back to life too.
