After almost 5 months home with Jacob, I returned to work this past week. I am so thankful for the 5 months we had together as a family before crazy life has started back up. Jacob started going to the babysitters for 2 hours a day the week before. This eased Jacob and mommy into the daycare thing :) He did great everyday and seems very comfortable with the sitter. This week he did great and started adjusting to her schedule easily. He doesn't want to eat the baby food that she tried the first few days, but now he is eating whatever the big kids eat. He is even napping on her schedule pretty well. On Thursday morning he reached for her from me-this almost made me cry. But then I decided I am thankful he likes her and is comfortable with her too. On Friday morning I handed Jacob to her and he reached back for me (this also made me thankful) :)
I am also coaching girls tennis at the high school, so I will be extra busy for the next 8 weeks. This season sure is different when I have a baby waiting for me at home (or at practice with me!) Tomorrow night we have an away tennis match so I won't get home until after Jacob is already in bed. This will be the first night I am not there to help put him to bed. Thankfully I have a wonderful husband who is extremely helpful and he is ready to step in when I am at work.
Overall everyone is adjusting to our new normal pretty well. I'm very thankful for that!!
