Back to Work...

This week was my official first week back to work. It has been a difficult transition, without a doubt one of the most difficult moments I've had to face. Jason and I have done the footwork and have lined up excellent daycare, with wonderful people and Sophia will also have some quality family time with Grammy and Grandpa Skalsky. We are so grateful to know that our little miracle will be well taken care of. I think that not having that piece of the puzzle in place would have make going back to work impossible.

It is hard to be away from Sophia, we really haven't physically been apart for more than a couple of hours in over a year now and I feel just a huge hole in my soul when I'm not with her. But I am grateful to have a great job and work with wonderful people. I look forward to providing wonderful things and experiences for Sophia and to be a role model to her on living a balanced life. Jason and I truly have a team approach to our family and I think we are both teaching her valuable life and relationship skills already. Whether its lunch time or the minute that I get off of work - I get so excited to see her that nothing and no one can stand in my way. And every second we get together I cherish and make the most of it. She is such a precious gift and I am so honored to be her Mommy. Even though we are apart temporarily throughout the day, my love for her embodies all of my choices, fills my heart with joy and I pray that she feels its strength from our short distance apart. She is with wonderful people, she enjoys meeting new and familiar faces and having a lot of quality playtime and learning with each person she encounters. Even with this change, she is one happy baby and seems to be adjusting very well to this new plan. We are blessed and I am thankful.
