22 weeks
I had to go back to work this week. Despite my best efforts I was not able to find a job that would allow me to work from home while snuggling a baby or to win the lottery. So, yeah. Back to work.
Cat is staying home with Devin for the next seven weeks. So far he's doing an awesome job (of course) and the two of them seem perfectly happy. Those jerks. Don't they know they are supposed to be miserable without me?
In all seriousness, returning to work has been extremely difficult. It was even harder this time than it was the first time because now I have two little ones at home. While I was on leave I got to help get Dax ready for school and cuddle with him for a bit first thing in the morning. I'm trying to figure out some balance that will still allow me to have some time with him in the morning before work but that also lets me GET to work before 10AM. And while I am at work, I absolutely ache for Devin.
Now that I've turned this entry into a serious downer I don't really know how to recover. Ummm....I have some pictures on the camera I need to download so I can post something recent but that will have to wait for this weekend. He's still growing with leaps and bounds, he's giggling a bit more often, chatting a little more, practicing rolling and sitting up and pulling himself to standing while holding our hands. We've given him a break from trying solids this week and this weekend I'm going to try giving him sweet potatoes. I'm also going to make sweet potato fries for Dax, the boy who will not eat anything.
Ahhh..the weekend. I can't wait for that.
