Maternity Leave has officially come to an end....

Me in the morning with my son and two girls :)

I can't believe three months have gone by so fast, tomorrow I head back to work. I guess when you're this busy time just flies by. I have so many emotions running through me regarding heading back to work. Part of me is excited to see my coworkers, the other part is scared, nervous and sad. Scared and nervous because I haven't been there in so long, and also because I haven't been apart from my son for very long. I am sad because I will miss seeing him grow and reach new milestones. I'm scared he will forget me since I won't be around during the week and I feel guilty for that. On the other hand I know he will be very well taken care of. My husband now has the biggest task of all, taking care of our baby. He is such an amazing father, so hands on and loving. Max just adores him, so that makes this whole transistion a lot easier.
I know a lot of things will change at home, since the nightshift now falls on Steve. I won't be around to help around the house as much, and what little time I do have I will spend with my son and husband.
We both have very important jobs and I know it won't be easy on either one of us. But as with everything else, I know we will do just fine since we have each other.

I just hope my son knows how much I adore and love him. He is growing up so fast, it amazes me how much he has changed since he was born. Since we got back from Miami we have put him in his crib, which he is finally getting used to. Sometimes we have to let him fall asleep on his tummy since he prefers that, but then we turn him around once he is asleep. He has been eating more now, he went from 4 ounces to six while we were in Miami, and slowly we are stretching out the nighttime feeds. Steve and I both agree we won't force him to skip meals until he is four months old. That is when we will get much tougher on him. Now when I smile at him he smiles back which melts my heart. He has gotten very strong, and loves to push himself up with his legs. He is slowly learning to roll over, but he still doesn't do it on a regular basis. He fits into 3-6 month clothing now which amazes me. We have had to put away all his newborn and 0-3 month clothing for the next baby. I must say, I love motherhood. It's the best thing I have ever done. xoxo
