If you were to ask me a couple of weeks ago how I am going to handle going back to work I would have said I am sad but excited to get back to a schedule where I have to wake up, get dressed, do things outside the house. But fast forward to this weekend and my feelings have changed. Of course I'm still going back to work. With all the IVF bills and the countless fertility drugs. I really have to if we ever want to pay them off and if I ever want to try again for a second child in the next 5 years. So on Wednesday my maternity leave is up and I will be going back. Don't get me wrong, I'm excited to see my coworkers and enjoy getting out of the house every day but I will miss my little Cooper so much words can't describe my hearts ache that I feel right now thinking about leaving him. I'm starting to feel upset at the thought of someone else being with my son all day long and not me. I know what helps him calm down quickly, I know what makes him happy and how to fix things for him. I just hate the thought that he could be upset and I'm not there. I know it won't take long for my aunt and my nana (they are watching him) to figure him out and figure out what works but Its still not me and that makes me so sad. I know I'll be just fine and so will he but I will sure miss him and our moments we've had these past six weeks. He is my little sweet and tiny and I love him so much. So please keep us in your prayers for a nice transition for us both this week.
This weekend I had a great time with friends. Saturday during the day we went to my friends sons first birthday party. It was a costume party for the kids and her son was Yoda, SO CUTE. She dressed up to but I'm not sure who she was. We had a girls night Saturday night and it was really fun. At the end of the night all the girls came to my house to see Cooper, Everyone was really missing him. Especially me.
Then today we went to lunch with one of my husbands really good friends. They have known each other since they were kids and now my husband Julian and his friend Justin both have sons. Ours is two weeks older then theres. Its crazy though. Who would have thought that they would have boys so close in age when they were fifteen years old riding bikes and causing trouble. So I added a pic of our little Cooper and there son Landon. So cute.

Going back to work is so hard to do and I hope you have a wonderful first (half) week back!
You will do great going back to work. It's always hard to leave them..but the best part of the day is coming home and giving them love!! Good luck. Cooper is so cute in his little outfit, what a precious giraffe.
What a cute costume! I feel bad not dressing my girls up-they only have halloween shirts.
Going back is so hard, I won't lie! But after the first week or so it just becomes part of life. I keep a bottle of sanitizer in the car so I don't have to waste time washing my hands after I get in the house and can go straight to the girls! I also keep updated pictures-it seems to help me hurry and get stuff done!
I think little cooper looks sooooo precious in his little costume!!!!!! The looks how cute he is in that last picture, I just wish I could squeeze him!! I can't believe Brody was ever that small!
I will be saying a prayer for you as you go back to work.. I can only imagine how hard it will be! But he will do great with your aunt and nana and at least you are able to have family watch him!!
I will say a prayer for you girl. I only work a couple of nights a week for maybe 4 hours at a time, but it was hard the first few weeks. It does get easier though, and I am sure Cooper's aunt and nana will give him lots of loving. Plus it is adorable when you go to pick them up, and they smile so big at you because you are home. He may not be smiling a lot yet, but he will and it will melt your heart.
He already looks so much more alert its so crazy how much they change so fast!
Love his costume BTW
And we will be praying for you as you head back to work, God will keep you strong and you know Cooper is in the best hands next to yours :)
Awhh it must be so hard to leave him but you will be fine :) and so will he! xx
I already think about when I'll have my LO and going back to work. It will probably be hard the first couple of days but it will get easier! And it is SO wonderful that you have family to watch him, I am jealous of that!
I will keep you in my prayers, going back to work, has to be really hard!
Also, Coopers Halloween costume=PRECIOUS and ADORABLE!
Oh honey, I know it will be hard on you. However, you are very lucky to have family watching him for you. That would make me feel more at ease. I will be praying for you. :) Glad you had a fun girls night & Coop looks super cute in his costume! He's such a cutiepatootie!
You have a beautiful family. Thoughts and prayers as you go back to work.
I hope your first day back was easy on Cooper and you! Like you said, if we want to give these boys siblings, we have to work!!
That top picture is so sweet. Little buddies in matching carseats!
