Day 36:
It was another busy whirlwind weekend filled with events and outdoor time ( Trunk or Treat, Friday Night Lights, parks and a fall festival with the kids) as the sun finally came out for us Texans. There is nothing more perfect to me than nice cool weather when the sun is shining. We took full advantage this past weekend and even snuck in some adult time downtown.
So this Monday, I spent the day focused on time with baby without even getting out of our jammies. Even though I still have 5 weeks left of maternity leave, I am starting to get anxious because time is literally flying by and the baby is changing daily. It’s amazing to me how I can go to work and up to 6 or 7 meetings a day, and a 30 minute meeting can sometimes seems to last forever, but when I’m at home the day flies by. Besides snuggling, feeding, and changing the baby—the only other things we did today were laundry (this is a daily event, take a beautiful morning walk, and a little catch up on some guilty pleasure television). It was a perfect day.
Positive Thought of the Day: That I am still at home with baby, as many women would have had to return to work by now.
I remember feeling the same way during maternity leave. I treasured those snuggle-filled days.
