Riley's First Christmas

I am so excited for Riley's first Christmas!

The End of Maternity Leave

So tomorrow I return to work. It's funny, at the beginning of this pregnancy, I was so excited to be that woman who did it all, worked, had a family, all of it. I worked so hard in school to get where I am, and have been so worried about my career slipping away. Now, tomorrow I am supposed to return to work, and I don't want to go. Riley is sleeping in her swing right now, and she is just too cute with her chipmunk cheeks and little pouty mouth, and I don't want to leave her.
I never thought I would want to be a stay at home mom, but here I am, so terribly sad to be returning to work. If I could stay home until she went to school, life would be perfect. Unfortunately, due to finances that isn't possible. So off to work I go.....
