I'm still here just not having much time to post. Liam is taking up my day everyday which is a blessing.
A week from tomorrow he will be 2 months old. People always told me that time goes by fast and now I'm understanding that. Also on his 2 month birthday I go back to work.
I'm having anxiety about going back to work. We need to for financial reasons but the thought of leaving Liam makes me very anxious. The daycare we chose is wonderful and for that I'm thankful. He will only be there Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to start so my husband will be home Tuesday and I will be home Thursday. I am so grateful for Thursdays to be with him. And the daycare is only 5 minutes from my office so I can go nurse him during the day. But I miss him already thinking about it. I know the first few days/weeks will be difficult. I have that empty feeling already and I haven't even started work yet.
For those of you that have returned to work after having a baby, how did you handle it? What made it easier on you? Any advice would be wonderful.
We are still struggling with sleeping. He had 2 nights of sleeping 6 hours straight but now its about 3 hours to start and then up every 2 hours. I'm hoping he starts to sleep longer shortly.
He is smiling now and it just melts my heart. He is really starting to show his personality. And boy is he getting big! At 6 weeks he was already weighing in at 12 pounds. He is already starting to outgrow some of his clothes.
Liam and I have been attending a baby massage class which has been wonderful. Its such a great bonding time for us. They luckily have a class on Thursday so when I start work I will still be able to go with him as I have Thursday's off. He loves to just lay there and watch all the other babies. Sometimes I wonder if he even knows I'm there!
We also have been going to a playgroup which has been wonderful. All the babies sleep and the moms get to chat. Its been great to talk to other moms going through the exact same thing right now. It makes me realize that what I'm feeling or what is going on is completely normal.
These past few weeks at home with Liam has been wonderful. Yes its challenging some days but I have cherished this time with him.
I hope to post more soon along with some photos!

OMG he is so precious!! For some reason I lost track of your link on my blog but now it's back! I am so so happy for you and I know exactly what you mean - I barely post anymore because when I'm not spending time with Elliott, it's with my hubby and/or sleeping and eating! LOL Sounds like you are enjoying being a mom, yes there are bad days but the good days outweigh them by far! Hear from you soon!
