Oh sad day...

Friday was my first day back to work. I can't believe it's been almost 7 weeks since Wren came into our lives! Every day is a learning experience and I have really enjoyed getting to know her and taking care of her. Part of me has been a little excited about getting back to work. The structure of the school psychology model has changed and I was given a team leader position. I am a bit of a control freak so it has been really difficult to step away from work at a time of change. With all the change happening at work, I think I was able to avoid the reality that going back to work meant being without my little snuggle bunny baby during the day. It finally started to sink in Friday about 1 am. So I cried and cried for hours which made the 5:30 wake up call much more difficult than it needed to be. I am a little mad at myself for setting myself up in such a bad position for my first day!!
Luckily I am so behind at work so the hours passed very quickly. I was able to come home during lunch and spend some time with Wren. She looked like she had already changed since earlier this morning! It was a little sad seeing how quickly she can change. I have now realized that it has nothing to do with me being at work, she is just changing so quickly this week! I am glad that I get to spend evenings and weekends cuddling her and haven't missed a bedtime. I am also lucky that I get a few vacations in the next couple of months. Fall break is in 8 work days!! Even with all the positives that come from me working, it's still hard to leave this at home...
