So the end of Thanksgiving meant the end of maternity leave for me. I had such mixed feelings about this, somewhat excited to get back to the real world but can't even believe how much I am going to miss this little lady.

My first day back went better than expected. There were only a few tears walking into the building, but once there, I was so overwhelmed trying to get caught up that before I knew it, it was time to go home and see her. :) The second day was much worse, this was Lily's first day of school. I have been to this school a million times, even worked there, so knew she was in capable hands (including her 2 aunties'), but there was something so sad about dropping her off. I needed a lot of consoling that day, so Erik and I took her together; even choked him up a bit.

| Daddy said I am not allowed to do this anymore or she will get beat up at school! | |

Every day since has gotten a little easier as I get back into a routine. The part I am finding to be the hardest is how little time during the week I get to spend with her. By the time I pick her up or get home from work we have barely any time to play, then she eats and falls asleep. Especially on school nights, she comes home so exhausted, we get even less time together. I am beginning to cherish the time we spend during feedings in the middle of the night... I can't believe I used to complain about being woken up, that is our time and I love every second of it.
