Back To Work

So today I left my precious baby in the care of the local daycare center and drug myself to the office. I have to say it was a relatively painless process. I expected to feel very sad about this whole thing, but everything went smoothly, I felt that he was in good hands and I was sort of excited to get back to work. I’m sure this feeling will change as work becomes more of the humdrum normal life again, but we really rely on my income and more importantly my medical benefits, so since I don’t have much of a choice, it might as well be a good thing.

The last couple of months have been such a whirlwind. I have experienced so much trial and error with this baby and finally have kind of figured him out and now it’s time to hand him off. I feel that I have to have another child because I’ve learned so much about babies that it would be a complete waste not to have another one. At the same time, I tell other moms that and they tell me no two babies are ever the same, so maybe there’s this learning curve with all of them. I still think I would be in slightly better shape than I was this past time.
