This was not quite the face E made when I reminded her that I was going back to work and she would be home alone with daddy. At my earliest I could have returned the Friday or Saturday before Labor Day. I cannot express how pleased I was to hear my superiors at work tell me they were flexible if I felt I should need or want extra time at home beyond the traditional six weeks. With E needing some extra care, I told work I wanted a full six weeks at home with her, not just six weeks total. You may remember Matt took two weeks off once E was home. That was a wonderful two weeks and then began four weeks of me staying at home.
Now it is Matt's turn to be a stay at home parent. Matt and I had a serious discussion last night about this role. I told him if he was accomplished he was not allowed to brag about it too much. With nursing and pumping I felt like a rock star when I was able to do anything else like wash clothes or dishes, or prep or cook dinner. I told him it was hard and I was constantly tired and occasionally exhausted. Tomorrow, I become a working mom. Wish my husband good luck. <3
