DREADING TODAY, BUT I DID IT!!!

Yes, today was a big day for the new Mommy! I left my precious daughter in very capable hands for 8 hours! I HAD to go back to work today. I have to say I think leaving Anna is one of the hardest things I have yet experienced as a new parent. I cried a lot last night, and many (8+ if you want to count) times this morning. Luckily once I got going on my day, the hours went by quickly. I love my job and my co-workers, so that made it a little easier. We'll see how next week goes when I have to work a full week!

YOUCH! I KNOW the feeling (notice the time I am writing this 3:45 am
I cried the whole way to work and still do at times (like tonight).
Thinking about you!

I know it must have been so hard for you, Heidi. But I was sure glad to see your cute face back at work! You're so tough! :) Love ya.

Yeah I am so excited that you are moving to Michigan!!! You are only a short drive away. We can meet in the middle some time next year. A 303 reunion in the midwest sounds like a great idea. I would love to meet Anna and catch up. We will be rivals, but that shouldn't stop us from being friends. You guys moving to Michigan has increased my happiness 137%. HOORAY!
I went back to work too (only for 3 weeks) it is hard to leave your baby. I feel for you.

that would be so hard! Way to be strong. I am really not looking forward to the day I have to go back. I try real hard not to think about it though!

Hey, it's me Jess Laub. Congrats on the Baby. How are you guys doing? I know that it was a while ago, but it was so good to run into you. I wish that we would see each other more often. blogging is such a great way to stay in touch with everybodys busy life.

Just remember it's only temporary! You are so strong and I'm sure you are doing great! I do know that everyone else there at work is happy to have you back!

Martha said...

Wow Heed, that is hard. I admire you and hope it's going well. It's only temporary though, right? You're a great mom for making that sacrifice!
