Honeymoon is over...

Although you could hardly call the last 12 weeks of taking care of a newborn a honeymoon! haha

Tomorrow is my last day home with Molly :( Sad times. I can't believe I have to go back to work... YUCK.

This weekend I got a pretty good taste of what it will be like being away from her all day. I went to Little Rock alone and Erik stayed home and kept Molly! They were alone for 30 hrs and it went really good. She finally has gotten the hang of taking a bottle so that has put my mind at ease and helped a lot! Here's a picture that Erik sent me while I was away and he titled it "Fun with Dad"

hehe pretty cute. I wish the people at the school would have iphones and be able to send me pictures!

Here's a little video clip of Molly playing on her tummy

Aww that's sad! :( In the US do you only get 3 months for mat leave? In Canada we get 12 months... What a bummer. :(

AW Molly will miss you but I think everything will be perfect once you guys get in a new routine! :) I just love that picture and she is doing good on her tummy!!

I'm sorry you are sad about having to leave your sweet baby.. I would be too! But Megan's right, once you guys get into a routine it will all work out great!

what a sweet pea!!! can't believe i've never met her! and i know it seems like it will be terrible, but going back to work isn't the end of the world. i thought i'd never make it, but it wasn't nearly that awful. as long as you're happy with where she is, it's SO easy to settle into a new routine. hope tomorrow is a great day for both of you!!!
