Forever a Family - 5 months ago today

Popped in to school today
on my way out to dinner with the wee one and my sweet friends.

Realized I am not missing it at all.
Realized I am going hours, days, sometimes a week
without thoughts of school crowding my mind.

Realized, as I walked those halls with my sweet baby
that that first hour,
first day,
first week back at work
is going to be beyond devastating for mama.

I would not go back if I really had a choice.

In Vietnam yesterday,
forever a family for 5 months today,
working tomorrow
-8 1/2 months later...
time seems compressed.


Off I go to bed
so that I can enjoy every waking moment
with my baby boy
once the sun rises...

Awwww that post made me tear up. You being off on baby leave makes me jealous and want to have my own babies so i can enjoy every waking moment with them.

Ben is too cute with his birthday ballooooon, I knew he would love it!

Happy 5 months together! I am so glad I have the summer off but am already dreading going back in 8 weeks and 1 day (I'm not counting or anything :()
