I was going to write a post about your 2 month checkup, however, Mommy just went through all her paper work and she sadly realized she has to go back to work sooner than she thought. As you will one day understand, this is the hardest thing I am ever going to have to do. So instead, I'd like to write to you all the things I am going to miss while I'm at work...
I will miss our conversations. I love when you wake from a nap and you tell me what you just dreamt about.
I will miss your big blue eyes staring up at me when you are feeding.
I will miss the sound of you sucking on the back of your hands. You've recently discovered them and they have been attached to your mouth since!
I will miss our walks.
I will miss attacking your legs as I am changing your diaper.
I will miss you saying Aaa-gooooooo! By the way...that was your very first word!
I will miss when you smile at me as I look over at you.
I will miss kissing your perfect little cheeks over 1,000 times a day.
I will miss the sound of your legs kicking in and out when you are laying on your play mat.
I will miss miss the constant nosies you make though out the day.
I will miss having to look over at you to check if you are OK.
I will miss wiping your mouth when I've noticed you've spit up.
I will miss the little dimples in your knuckles.
I will miss rubbing my cheek on your ever so soft hair.
I will miss you holding my finger.
I will miss your cry.
I will miss the 100 half blinks you do right before you are about to fall asleep.
I will miss laying on the floor next to you as we play with your toys.
I will miss laughing at your tongue when you stick it in and out, in and out, trying to tell me you are hungry!
I will miss staring at you in complete disbelief that you are ours!!!
My afternoons will be quite different without you in them. I will be staring at a computer screen 10% of the work day, and a picture of you 90% of it! As sad as I am for me, I am excited for you. I am excited for you to have the interaction of playing with your two friends Halle and Tyler! You are going to go for walks and spend time playing outside. You will do activities to help you continue to grow. And you will do your most favorite thing of all...sleep! Mommy and Daddy will have such comfort knowing you are 2 minutes down the road from them. And we can't wait to come spend our lunch hours playing with you. Most importantly, we can't wait to go home as a family and hear all about your day!!!
I miss all 13 lbs of you already!
Love,
Mommy

You're gonna do great, Jen. And Paul, too......I guess......
This brought tears to my eyes. Tom's right, you'll be strong, you'll do great. I'm sure it'll make the time that you do have with Eric that much sweeter. Best of luck going back Jen!
Your letter to Eric made me sad for you Jen. It will be hard, but you are strong. You're a great Mom and Eric is very lucky to have you. I'll be thinking of you.
Aww Jen, You made me cry.:( I know how hard this is going to be for you so if you need to talk just call me. You'll know once you go back to work what's best for you and I truly believe that the only way you will truly know that is if you go back to work.We're here for you if you need us. Love ya!
Thank you for your comments. Having you all be so supportive means a whole lot to us!
