January- January 6, 2011
It’s January. I have to go back to work this month. The 20th to be exact. I’m trying not to think about it, yet plan for it at the same time. You see my dilemma.
I had a crazy long to-do list this week that didn’t get done. The Christmas decorations are down. That’s good I guess. But, what I really needed to do was blog and get this blog reformatted. In case you haven’t noticed, my baby was born and I need to revamp Somebody’s Parents into a baby blog versus pregnancy blog. (All of that is in the works, I promise.) I have posts swarming in my head. I have an upcoming post on breastfeeding, post on Charlotte’s “peers”, but both have yet to be published to my blog.
I guess I haven’t posted that much this week and I haven’t responded to comments because I’ve just wanted to snuggle with Charlotte. I’ve wanted to take naps with her on the couch, take pictures of her, tickle her, make her smile, hold her, look at her, and just BE with her. My time with my baby is about to be slashed dramatically and I’m dreading it. Okay, I’m putting the laptop away. I have an adorable 9-week-old to snuggle for just a few more minutes. It is January after all.
Spread it around:
I feel your pain. Don't worry about the blog or the to-do list. Savor every moment with that sweet girl! I won't lie – going back to work is really really hard. (And for future reference, it's just as hard with the second kid!) But you'll find a balance. And you'll come to appreciate the time you do have with her even more. Working moms – we're a tough breed!

this is such a sweet, sweet photo of a sweet, sweet girl!
