Returning to work

The hardest thing I will ever have to do is go back to work. Unfortunately my generous 12 weeks of Maternity leave is up this Friday May 30th and I have to go back to work on Monday June 2nd. I feel terrible. Every time Garrett smiles at me I can't help think about how I won't get to spend as much time with him anymore and that I am sure to miss out on plenty of his firsts. I do feel torn though, I have always liked working and I love my job but I just love this little guy so much it is hard to be apart from him. I will have to say that I am happy that I will not have spit up on me for at least a few hours a day now that I will be back at work but I think that is the only thing that I will not miss. It just really stinks that just at the time he is getting his little personality I have to leave him. Fortunately I have 3 wonderful people who will be taking care of him and I couldn't be luckier to have them taking care of Garrett.
All being said I really am fortunate that I got a full 12 weeks to spend with him and that I still have my job and that Garrett will be taken care of very well when I return to work. I really am very blessed for all of the time I have had to spend with my sweet little man.

Hi Sweetie,
You know this may sound weird but that baby is so freakin cute....lol. Look at that precious face (not a proud grandma here). (this is the weird part)I also notice in this picture that Garrett looks so much like Kyle wow never noticed it before. But he is a cute cute baby boy.
