It is official...I go back to work full time next Wednesday, March 2nd. I honestly have mixed feelings about this. Part of me feels like I will just be missing so much with my boys. They are changing so quickly these days and I hate to miss anything. Plus, the happiest time of day for them is right after their 10:30am feeding. They play so well and have even started smiling and laughing now. So, I will definitely miss that. The other part of me is SO ready to get back to work! I love what I do for a living and I am ready to start working with customers again and making their dreams of home ownership a reality. Plus, sometimes time away from the boys is hard to come by. On days when they both cry for 30 minutes straight several times, it is a relief to get a little "me" time. So, that will be a plus to going back to work.
So, I will just have to take things day by day and enjoy the moments that I have with the boys. Maybe going back to work will help me to appreciate that even more... :)
Baby update: They go into the doctor for their 2 month check up on March 1st. So, I will have some updates for you next week! We have started something new this week with them. Up until now we have rocked them to sleep at their bed time. I have been reading more about that and the articles I read encourage parents to let their kids learn to fall asleep on their own. Otherwise, we could be rocking a 3 year old to sleep every night... So, we started to put the kids in their crib before they are actually asleep. Cooper cried for about 2 minutes total and Emory had a little tougher time. I read that it is important to soothe them right away once they start crying, but don't pick them up. So, we rubbed their back and talked softly to them and shortly after they quieted down! It was awesome! We spent some time working on this with them after the 7:30 feeding and they did much better after the 10:30 feeding. So, it looks like it is working so far! Yeah! Good sleeping habits are always appreciated!
Mommy update: I am so excited to have a girls day on Saturday! One of the things that I asked for from Santa was a spa day and I got gift certificates galore! So, I am using my first one this Saturday and my mom is going to join me! So, we are getting massages and facials. Then, we are grabbing lunch and getting pedicures! Chris is going to watch the boys for the first time, but I am sure he will do fine. He is so good with them and honestly, he has to learn some time. :)
