Casey and Ian had their Daddy Sunday this morning - it consists of coffee (steamed milk for Ian) and a cruise over to the airport. They met Lloyd and he let Ian sit inside his plane. He was so excited! This is the second plane he has been able to check out. What a lucky kid! Milo and I stayed at home - we enjoyed a nap. The last nap we will get to take together for awhile since tomorrow I go back to work.
After the airport, they hit up the construction zone across the street. Ian was in heaven! I only drive by it, but not Daddy...he lets him get out and play on the actual machines. No wonder Ian thinks he is cooler than me.
I have tried to keep myself busy all weekend so that I wouldn't ruminate about returning to work. I am so sad. I am going to miss having time off with my boys. These last 10 weeks have been wonderful! Not only am I going to miss time with my sweet baby, but I am going to miss time with my girlfriends. I was blessed with having two girlfriends to spend this maternity leave with - one local and one on the East Coast. We have shared everything - late night texts, midday chats, breastfeeding horror stories, freakouts over weight gain and lack of poop, shopping trips for diapers and non-maternity clothes...and sadness over our returns to work. Every woman should get to share her maternity leave with a girlfriend! It definitely made those first few weeks a little more bearable, it truly helps to know you aren't alone.
Words cannot describe how hard tomorrow is going to be. I thought for sure I would be more ready for this than I am. I took this picture of Ian and Milo on Saturday AM, we were watching Handy Manny's Big Construction Job. I love how grown up Milo looks here. I know they will be in good hands, but it is still so difficult to think of all the time I spend away from them. I would love nothing more than to be able to stay at home a couple of more months, but such is life. If I could just become independently wealthy overnight then all would be right in the world.
