This week, I'll be having a conversation with my manager about my return to work. We're working on arrangements for childcare for when I go back. I'm so blessed to live in Canada where we get a full year of maternity leave and it's been such an amazing year and I'm so thankful, but reality is starting to hit me: In a little over 2 months, I'll be back to work.
I feel like each month is going by faster than the one before - I'm still trying to figure out what happened to September, and it's already the second last week of October! I feel like I'll blink and it'll be Christmas and then I'll be back to work. So, with that in mind, I'm really feeling the need to soak up every second I have with Tessa. She's growing and changing so fast, and learning something new almost every day, it seems, and I don't want to miss any of it.
I'm so thankful that I only have to go back to work part-time, so I'll
still have lots of time at home with her once I go back, but in some
ways I feel like it won't be quite the same. So I've decided that my blog, for
now, will be taking the back seat. I'll still be posting, just maybe
not as regularly as I have been. I do love blogging and I especially love the community I've found online through blogging, so I don't want to miss out on that, but I'm really feeling like it's "crunch time" on my maternity leave and I want to make the most of it.
So, if you'll excuse me, I have a baby to go play with!
