I am returning to work Monday....sigh........ I have had 8 weeks off and I can truly say I am SAD! I do not want to go back to work and leave my babies. I want to be a stay at home Mommy! But alas...I must work to feed my babies lol.... Funny...when employees tell me they plan to take 8 or 10 weeks off for a maternity leave I think (wow, thats a long time)...now I think (thats just a drop in the bucket). I only took 6 weeks off with Ava and I truly regret not taking more. I know I will regret not taking 10 weeks (but gotta pay the bills). I have had so much fun just sitting ad holding my new baby (she is very snuggly). I have also had fun playing with Ava (she is such a fun age right now) She comes up to me and says "mama, play?" We read books and cook in her little kitchen and anything else she wants to do. Everyone told me that once I had children, the stuff that used to matter, no longer would. I thought they were full of it. But now I can see the big picture. For example....at this moment it doesn't matter that there are Cheerios all over my living room floor (whereas that would have sent me into orbit in the past)...what matters is that Ava is able to say "eerios mama!!!!....pease" and cock her little head to the side when she wants something really bad. What matters is that Emma has the cutest smile and smiles ALOT! Here are some pics of what I will be coming home to each afternoon after going back to work Monday.....

Aww...I know it's hard! When I had Madeline I was more than ready to go back to work just to feel "normal." I have a feeling it's going to be way different this time around! You have two beautiful girls.
Two beautiful little angels...something to look forward to seeing after a long day at work! Misty, I know you make way more than I do, but that's one of the perks of being a teacher...you get to have a lot of time off with your kids. You'll get back in your routine in no time and everything will be fine.
