Six weeks have come and gone. Because my sick days were quickly depleting, I went back to work today. I was torn by the array of emotions I felt. Obviously I felt awful leaving him at daycare. (We have the most amazing daycare ever by the way.) On the other hand, I was ready to see my students and friends at school. I have worked very hard to become the teacher I am today...but I guess that could be said of the path that led to motherhood. I felt guilty that I can't just quit my job to hang out with him all day. Being a stay-at-home mom is a tough job (it IS a job) but I guess I'm more of an out-of-the-home working mom.
We got up bright and early and got dressed for daycare. We were fortunate enough to have a spot at the church where I work. The ladies are great! Carter was very excited to meet Miss Kim in the morning.
I didn't cry. I felt like it, but I didn't. I didn't even call. Nerves of steel! I practically ran down the hall to his room when I went to pick him up. When I got him home, I wanted to read books, and cuddle, and talk-he slept. Figures. We got some mommy and me time later on.
Last week I wrote about his baptism. Here are a few great photos courtesy of my friend and youth group member, Sarah. She is amazing behind a lens.
The other exciting events this week were family photos
and a surprise baby shower with the youth group. Among other cool things, Carter got his first Build-a-Bear. It was a busy, wonderful, happy week.
