OK. This is going to be the shortest post in the history of posts ever. I have like 30 minutes before I need to wake up McKenna and get her in the car seat to go see Daddy and meet his coworkers. And I feel like a bad mom – she is sporting a summer dress and it is getting chilly down here in Atlanta. MEANING: I need to go shopping for some fall clothes for the little one. Cardigans. Pants. Etc… we need layers for daycare. Which SHE STARTS NEXT WEDNESDAY!! ….so I may have been spending some time looking online at Macy’s and Kohls for some clothes for her and y’all… Carters has THE CUTEST stuff in the world. She will be better dressed than me. #truestatement
Yesterday we had her orientation and we had to put her in the infant room during the information time. And let me tell you… I CRIED THE WHOLE FREAKING TIME. Actually, I started cry
ing at the house and walked in crying. Needless to say, I did not hide the crazy from the workers. Whoops?! And I may or may not have already registered us for the webcam program to watch her. And evidently, we only have 10 views per day but we can call to have our views “reset”. Get ready Sarah, I will be calling you ALL THE TIME to reset my views, even past the first 2 weeks.
But seriously, how did this day already come!? I feel like we just brought her home and I was just struggling with trying to get her to nap and not scream all day long. I cannot believe in 7 days I am going to be a full time, working mom instead of a full time stay at home mom. And good grief I am going to miss our morning stroller rides and gibberish conversations and her HUGE smiles at me that are so big she has to turn her head away. To all those moms on maternity leave: soak up every single minute, it files by so fast. It is ok to cry with your baby when you’re frustrated, but enjoy every moment. I am going to miss these days, as simple as they were, immensely.
But… I need to get a move on. STAT.
AND! Big congrats to my fellow Logan’s Roadhouse love on the birth of her little baby boy, Charlie! I would say we should set up an arranged marriage between him and McKenna, but little M will NOT be marrying a Tennessee Fan! Welcome to motherhood Ashley!! =D
awww thinking of you during this transition time, girl!
ReplyDeletethe transition away from your baby is tough. in canada, we have a year mat leave so i can't even imagine what it would be like to have to be away from your baby only after a few months! also - you'll be very surprised at how well babies adjust to daycare routine. they'll cry at first but once they get used to it (after a week or so), they'll be happy campers :)
