Tomorrow will begin a new chapter since I am returning to work after spending 8 weeks with Emily. I can't believe how quickly this time has passed. While I'm definitely feeling physically ready to return to work, I'm not sure that my heart is ready. I'm just starting to figure out Emily's routine and now I feel as though she's being taken away from me! Our good friend Barb will be coming to watch her and Dave is still working from home, so I have no doubts that she'll be well cared for. The care that she'll be getting is not what worries me. Honestly what really worries me is when I think about the things that I will miss while I'm away from Emily. What if her only smiles happen during the day while I'm gone? Will she roll over or crawl while I'm away? And it's not just a question of what I'll miss tomorrow, but what will I miss next week? Next month? Next year??
I can't help but wonder how Emily will feel about all this. Will she be sad that I'm gone? Will she smile when she sees me or will she be mad at me for having left her all day? Will she forget about me during the day?
All I really know for sure is that when I go to work tomorrow I'll be leaving my heart at home.

We're in the same boat and mine is sinking too! I return to work next Tuesday, just 8 more days with Ava! I know it wasn't easy but I hope your day back was at least a smooth transition. Emily's 7 week pics are adorable, I love that the dogs stand by waiting to play with her!
Awwww....my heart feels for you. EmD doesn't yet know how lucky she is to have such a beautiful and wonderful Mommy like you and of course, a Daddy like Dave. She WILL remember you, and everyday she will fall in love with you more and more. Please take care of yourself and that lil bundle of joy. Hugs to your family.
