That is right…I did it! After many tears, I returned to work. I never in a million years thought I would be the woman that A)did not want to return to work and B)would cry over it (many times)….but I am! Thankfully I went back to the most supportive environment a woman could return to and my nanny is my sister Destiny.
Destiny was born to be a mom. I say this as a high compliment. So leaving Bridget with Destiny was not even a concern. I am so grateful that Bridget gets to stay at her house, does not have to be woken up to go to daycare and is with someone that loves her probably as much as I do!
This is Auntie Destiny (or as we call her Desily because Jack could not say Destiny) with Pixie when Pixie was a month old
When I got to work there was a note on my desk from my friend Janice that said today is going to be one of the hardest days you will go through, it will get easier. Jane (my boss) basically told me to leave when I needed to leave. Although there was emotional understanding, people also understood my needs and just let me dive into work to distract myself from being away from Bridget.
The first week was hard. Bridget went through a eating and sleeping strike! Thankfully after the first day the eating strike was over and by Friday the sleep strike was over. Thank goodness Destiny has the patience to stick it out! What a trooper.
Sleep strike over!!
Day 1 without mom...Destiny sent me pictures to tell me she was ok
Day 2 with out mom...note the drool!
I keep telling myself that this is an adjustment….and it is getting better.
