Today Ryan heads back to work. We've been lucky to have him off for 9 whole days when we only expected him to have 8 days. I don't know what I would have done withoutall of his help. Eva definitely loves her daddy, and I love him even more!
He loves her so much and always wants to hold her as much as he can.What a lucky little girl!
It's hard because I know that his job is so important and I want him to work hard. I am thankful that he has a job and that it doesn't require him to travel or be gone for too long at a time. Plus this weekend he is getting to ease back into working a bit before next week starts. But it's still hard to say goodbye. I've only cried a little bit. I want to be encouraging to him because I am so grateful to be the one that gets to stay home with Eva. I am super proud of him for working and I know that he will be home later this evening and that we can give him lots of welcome home kisses and hugs.
My little family. They are the best.
Being a stay-at-home mom is HARD! There will be lots of days that you cry a little bit and wonder why you wanted to stay home with this little rascal! But it's also such an amazing blessing and there will be lots more days (often the same as the crying ones) when you laugh and love the life you've chosen. If you haven't already, find a support group of other stay-at-home moms - a MOPS or MOMS group is great for those days when you're overwhelmed (or bored out of your mind, as you can tend to get with an infant who still sleeps ALOT!)
