Back to work

Well, today was officially my first day back to work. I'm working for a new company, so this week is mostly training. I was done by 11am, so it wasn't too bad :) I had to leave so early, Levi took Noah over to "Mrs. Katie's." He did great and even got a cute little daily report that Katie made up and sent home in his bag. Here is what I think about going back to work...

First, I feel VERY grateful that I have been able to stay home for 4 and a half months with Noah. It has been a great time for me to learn the role of being a mom and take the time I need to figure things out. Second, I love my job and what I get to do and that also makes it so much easier to go back to work. I'm so glad I chose the career path I did and feel like it gives me lots of options as a mom. I am going to be working 2 days a week and setting my own schedule both of those days. Last, I feel SO blessed that we have available moms and a wonderful friend that will be watching after Noah. Katie will be watching him one day a week and Levi's mom will be watching him the other day. My mom is also going to take off of work and watch him once a month. I know he is in great hands and will never hesitate having to leave him. Once again, that makes this transition SO MUCH easier.

Why is that not even slightly surprising that Katie made a report for you...she is to funny! I am glad everything went well. I love the dress you wore to the wedding.
