Working Mom

I went back to work on Monday. After all the stress and tears in the weeks leading up to Monday, I'm actually very surprised at how well I handled it. There were no tears.... until Tuesday. Ha. I RUSHED home on Tuesday to see him and he barely looked at me. Then he gave my mom (the one watching him all day) a huge smile and giggle. Jake gets home a few hours later and Parker does the same smile and giggles for him. Oh, I did not handle that well. All the emotions/hormones/stress/lack of sleep got to me and I just started bawling and thinking I won't be able to bond with him. (My mom reassures me that I've already bonded with him and I know she is right, but at the time I was very upset.) It has been hard to adjust to not seeing my little guy all day long, but I keep reminding myself that it is not permanent. Summer will be here is six weeks and I'll be back to seeing him all the time!!!

Here is Parker eating some rice cereal for the first time. We tried and he loved it!!
