I have mixed feelings about returning to work. On one hand, I feel good going back to work. On the other hand, I feel like I have not accomplished what I set out to achieve during the past 16 weeks of maternity leave.
Returning to work makes the time I have at home with my family more precious.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and this is definitely true for me and the kids.
I reminded myself not to have Ava fall asleep in my arms so she can fall asleep on her own bed and learn to settle when she wakes up. But I can't bear not hugging her close to me, I won't have the luxury of doing so whenever I want to so I gave in.
How nice it is when your baby tugs at your hair and hold your arm tightly as they fall asleep. I really love these moments. Returning to work makes the time I have at home with my family more precious.
