Eric goes back to work on Monday :( I'm freaking out a little about that. One thing I haven't talked enough about is how wonderful he has been. I didn't think it was possible for me to love him more than I already did, but this whole process has really reminded me just how lucky I am. I could gush on and on about all of the fantastic support he gave me during pregnancy and labor, and now continually reminding me what a great job I'm doing. And all the while he is being the most amazing daddy! Babies do wonderful things to husbands, I swear.
Anyway, so Monday things will be different. Back to work he goes, leaving me to figure out this mommy thing on my own for 10 hours a day, give or take. Thankfully my mom is coming to stay with us for the week and help out, but it won't be the same. More than anything I think I'm really going to miss all the time we've gotten to spend together. Sigh. Reality bites.

Good job, Eric!
You're gonna do awesome. And how cool that you get your Mom for a week. I was telling Craig last week that I wished we lived just a little bit closer so that I could come stay with you for a couple days. How fun would that be, us with our babies?
I thought I'd have a harder time with Craig being gone all the time. It's nice to have him home, but honestly it's nice to be just us girls sometimes too. I hope that you find that your mommy-son time is special in it's own way, even with the understandable overwhelmingness of it all.
My unsolicited advice is don't be afraid to take him out. I like going to the mall and walking around with Adela in the wrap. She's blown out all over me and she's cried all the way home, but I keep finding that all the worst case scenarios aren't that bad. Most of the time it's great. And it really helps to get out of the house now and then.
