14 Weeks
So I went to my final breastfeeding group this past Tuesday. They threw me a little party to say farewell and I had a good time. I am going to miss going to the group and asking all the questions that arise week after week. Luckily I will have Mondays off when I return to work so I'll still be able to attend the weekly mommy group! I am getting anxious about my return to work. One of my staff was let go due to job abandonment so it's going to be very hectic and stressful for a while. I still don't know what happened with her and I think I never will... But I guess we need to move on and I'll need to hire someone else asap. It's so hard to find good, hardworking staff nowadays so I'm just crossing my fingers that I do...
Freddie took Friday and Monday off to spend the last few days of my maternity leave as a family. I know I am going to miss Keoni so much once I go back to work. Whenever he's been fussy that past few days, it didn't even bother me as much as I knew I was actually going to even miss that. He's always giving me smiles now and loves to be held by mommy. We've been slowly training him to self soothe and he's been going to bed on his own. Before we'd have to put him to sleep in our arms before putting him in the crib, but now he can fall asleep on his own in his crib... His sleeping schedule is getting better and better as well. He sleeps a good 8-9 hours a night and after we feed him in the morning he goes back down for another 2-3 hours. I know we are lucky for this and am truly grateful. He's been just a joy and I love him to death! He's growing up so fast and I can't keep up...
Tomorrow is his 100 day! We are having a celebration at a Korean restaurant on Sunday. I think I have covered everything, but who knows, with my mind these days, I might have forgotten something. I found a cute French baby clothing store yesterday and bought him a special outfit for his party... It's supposed to be a gorgeous day Sunday so I hope everything goes smoothly. It's been raining most of the week so it's been dark and dreary.
I hope once I return to work on Tuesday that I can manage my time and responsibilities well. I'm sure I will, but it's going to be tough to balance being a working professional, mom and wife. I guess I'm slowly gaining understanding of the term super mom. I doubt I'll ever be one, but will definitely try. It seems that there are so much more expectations put on a mother than a father in this day and age, but I can't complain since we have more rights and freedoms now that we did 100 years ago... Here's to surviving this next change in my life!!!
