Today is officially my last day EVER of maternity leave...and I'm finding it a lot harder to go back to work this time around. Maybe for that same reason...I know that I will never have maternity leave again...or lets hope I don't. The last time I went back to work I was already pregnant with Levi, so it was really just a countdown to being off work again. This time, there is no countdown, it's just life as it is.
And for some reason, Levi feels younger at 9 1/2 months than Benjamin did...I think I just compare him more to Benjamin and that makes him seem that much younger. With Benjamin, the first thing I missed was his first crawl. I got home from work one morning and just a little earlier Ben decided to crawl across the room. I was so sad to have missed it! Now with Levi...he's not crawling yet either. But yet somehow he's been getting across the room to the satellite box and DVD player...always when we aren't in the room! Well...we figured it out today...he's a bum scootcher! And so cute! So I feel a little better now (a very small bit) about going back to work, now that I didn't miss this one small milestone. But yet after being alone with the boys for a lot of the last week, I'm ready for some "adultness" in my life too. And Brad will have the opportunity to spend more time with the boys...which is such a blessing...something that I would never withhold from him.
So tomorrow it is...back to the grind. I was going to say "back to the early mornings"...but work could actually be classified as sleeping-in these days since Levi seems to be our early bird, awake before 6am each morning. That's one thing about kids, they change your perspective about time and what sleeping in is!! One day I'll sleep till 7 again...hopefully!
