Today is one of those "feeling grateful" kind of days. After Kayda was born I went back to work after winterbreak, right about 6 weeks. After Dillon was born I went back to work at 7 weeks. Now, here I am, Carson is 6 weeks old today. If I was still working I would've headed back to work today.
I was fortunate, Grandma G was able and willing to watch Kayda and Dillon for me while I worked. I knew they were with someone that loved them and would have the same rules for them that I have. I had the summers off with them and the school year after Dillon was born I even got to be part time. So I only missed a few hours a day with them. But I still missed them and I missed a lot of their "firsts".
Last school year I was finally able to be home with my babies! I got to be with them ALL the time and I was very happy once we decided to have another baby that I wouldn't have to be pregnant, extrememly sick and dealing with a class full of high school kids. With both Kayda and Dillon I often had to run to the bathroom in the middle of class because I was so sick.
Now here I am, my second year as a stay at home mom with another sweet baby. I get to be here for ALL of Carson's "firsts", I get to see them with my own eyes and not just hear about them. I get to be with Kayda and Dillon for their first days of school, go help in their class, be there to pick them up and hear all about their days. I get to be here loving my children the best I know how every day. I'd love to be a "super mom" and have happy, healthy, well loved kids AND a shiny clean house but for now I'll have to settle for the "happy, healthy, well loved" part.
It is impossible to express how grateful I am that my husband is able to support our family and how happy it makes me to be home.
And just because I can, here are some more pictures of the three WONDERFUL children that I love SO much. That I get to devote all my time and energy to.
