Time is moving way too fast right now. Tomorrow marks 10 weeks of life for our little man. He is growing and changing like crazy and I cannot imagine life with out him now. I only have a few weeks left of maternity leave and I am trying like crazy to saver every single minute of being a new mommy. I was folding laundry the other day and realized that he no longer fits into some of his clothes. We went to the pediatrician for a 2 month well check on Monday and he has gained two more pounds and 2 more inches. How do people deal with how fast this all goes by. I am going to wake up tomorrow and he is going to be crawling and then walking and then talking like crazy. I never really understood how fast time goes by when you have children until now. I want to freeze in the moment for a while and pick up a few months from now or something.
Mike is learning how to be a night time parent for when I go back to work. It is so hard for me to sit back and let him do it because I just want to snuggle with our little man every chance I get...especially at night when he is the most cuddly. It is important for Mike to do this while I am here since its not all confetti and roses when you are tired just want to push the snooze button on the child.
I looked up my work schedule today and sure enough its posted. That means my time as a stay at home mom is coming to an end. I pray that the transition will be smooth for Mike and I will be able to function on smaller amounts of sleep. Working nights is a challenge in it self, but trying to keep your child to a minimum amount of day care a week will be a whole new basket of challenges. I don't have to keep him home so much, but I didn't have a child to have other people raise him. I may change my mind when I am working on 2 hours of sleep for the day.
