Back to work

After three months at home with my precious baby the day has finally come, it snuck up on me though. These past three months have gone by so fast. Last night I couldn't sleep and kept waking up with the thought that come this morning I'd be leaving my little guy for the first time. Our morning routine was a bit stressful and I'm sure I'll be making several more adjustments to it so that I can ensure Gabriel is all ready for the day as am I. As I drove away from the house and pretty much the entire way to work, I had tears in my eyes and running down my face. I waited until I got to work to put makeup on, from all the crying I did, it would have come off again and again and again. When I pulled up to work, I gathered all my emotions and walked back into the office I last was in on June 4th, 2010. It was difficult but I'm so thankful to have the support of my wonderful patients and great staff that made my day just a bit easier. Everyone was so happy to see me and truly thankful that I had returned. It really made me feel missed and needed, not just by my little guy but by the 100+ patients that I take care of on a daily basis. Coming home this afternoon was such a treat and seeing my little guys eyes light up as he heard and saw his mommy. Hugs, kisses and cuddles occupied the remainder of our evening and is making me cherish every waking minute I get to spend with my son.
