Reflection

My precious little baby will be 12 weeks old on Thursday! Three months already! The time has flown by and I just cant believe how far she and I both have come. It's been a crazy, wild, emotional, extremely challenging ride, but I wouldn't change it for the world! I love spending every second with her.

As I count down the last few days of being a stay-at-home mom, I'm realizing just how much I'll miss while at work... helping her learn to sit up, grasp toys, try her first foods, crawl and eventually take her first steps - and more importantly, just the quality time I'll forego for a paycheck. I know that returning to work for any mom must be difficult, but at this point, I simply cannot fathom the pain I will feel being separated all day from my little one. How do you working moms do it? I'm agonizing over this impending change daily. I wish there was some magic wand I could wave to make all the circumstances right for me to stay with my baby.
