Work

I went back to work today. First day on a new job at a new school and I was leaving my baby boy for the first time all day. Talk about emotional overload. We started the day at 5:45. Elliott woke up before my alarm went off and I kept him awake after his feeding just to spend time with him before I had to go. It was hard to get ready to leave, make my lunch, get dressed, even just brush my teeth, because I just wanted to hold him and hug him and talk to him as much as I could. Only a few tears from me when I left. I actually did much better then I thought I would. I told my new class all about Elliott. Brought in his little socks for them to see and a picture. I thought about him all day long, and my mom kept me posted with texts and I checked in twice during my breaks. I've never missed another person so much. When the day was over I raced home to see him. As I pulled up, there they were standing outside waiting for me. His little face peering over my mom's arm was even cuter then I remembered. As I nursed him on the couch, I fell in love with him all over again. Completely overwhelming to love someone so much. Completely worth every moment.
