Back to work

Back to work I go....

I was definately looking forward to my maternity leave and spending time with Brett and Kayden. I LOVED every second of it! The only down fall is that it went by quickly and I ran out of paid leave :( Big bummer...
So last week I went back to work on Thursday and Friday, Brett had off so he and Kayden got some time together. Yesterday my parents were in town so they kept him all morning and I took the afternoon off. Its been nice to leave Kayden with family, but we knew it was going to end....
Thankfully Brett and I were blessed with an opportunity to not put Kayden in a daycare but to share an in home babysitter! One of my co-workers, Amy Jo, has a 15month old little boy, Nash, and he stays at home with his babysitter Megan. Amy Jo was kind enough to open her home and Megan was open to taking on a second child. So we all met yesterday to go over details and set everything up. Megan is super sweet and she is really great with Nash. Brett and I are both very comfortable with her and we feel that she is going to be great with Kayden too! And Amy Jo is wonderful for opening up her home to everyone. So Kayden and Nash get to be buddies, which is wonderful. I'm sooooo thankful that we didn't have to send Kayden to daycare just yet, we would so much rather him get some personalized attention and this is the perfect route! And to add to it, Brett is going to keep him on his days off which is wonderful.

Today was the first day to drop off Kayden and I'm just full of mixed emotions. I am completely comfortable with Megan and trust that she is going to take great care of him and Nash. But at the same time the mom in me has kicked in and I want to call like every 5 minutes to see how he is doing. Currently I've made it 3 hours and have yet to call.....I'll probably text her soon though....hahahaha There are no words to really explain how I feel, but I know that over time it will get easier. Maybe I can one day be a stay at home mom, but now just isn't the right time. Until then.....we'll stick with the current plan. I'll post a picture soon so you can meet Megan and Nash. :-)
