I've really been having a hard time dealing with the fact that I'm going to have to drop Cooper off at daycare on Monday. I could hardly sleep last night thinking about how it's gonna go and what questions I needed to ask before I brought him.
I called the daycare this morning to ask those few questions. Yes, prepare the bottles and yes you can bring him in the carseat and leave it there. Might be stupid questions but heck, I don't know. This is my first time! I also have to go by there at some point before Thursday to pick up a packet to fill out. Emergency info, eating/sleeping habits, blah blah blah.....
I'm going to try and give it a good week or so before talking to my bosses about possibly changing my schedule. I was thinking last night (ya know when I couldn't go to sleep).... Daycare will get him for about 10 hours. He sleeps at night for about 8 hours (not all at once of course). So, that means I'll get him for about 6 hours and that time includes travel time to and from daycare. Daycare gets more time with him than I do. How is that fair?

Here's a suggestion from your old aunt....CHANGE YOUR SCHEDULE!!!! YOU ONLY HAVE HIM FOR SUCH A SHORT TIME AND HE NEEDS YOU (time flies by SOOOO fast)! If I could go back and change anything in my past it would be that I had to work and give my babies care over to other people!!! I would rather be poorer and be with my kids than be more well off and let someone else raise them! You have lots of years to work!!! This is not to put a guilt trip on you if you just can't, but think hard and long about the pro's and con's!
PS...love your blog! I finally got my computer to cooperate with getting into any of our blogs!
Hugs to everyone!

Thanks! I totally agree. Time flies. I only get one chance to raise Cooper and I want to be there. I know we can't afford for me to be a stay at home mom but I know we can afford for me to change my schedule. There are 2 people at my work who have different schedules due to their kids and my boss has three kids so I know she'll understand. We'll see...I'm going to give it a week or so and see how I feel. Love you lots!
I agree with mom! Going back to work was killer... but I'm very thankful for the boss/team that I work with that puts Family first! We're very blessed that I have every Friday, Saturday, Sunday off and when I'm at work the babies are either with Kookah (grandma) or daddy! I don't know if I could do it any other way! :) I'll be praying for you as you return to work. ...FYI... I cried. A lot. And it's ok if you cry too! :) Love you!
