Cedar's 3 Months Old and I'm Going Back to Work

My Cedar-love was born 13 weeks ago today.  As I've continued to say every time I reflect on how old he is, it seems like it's been longer that he's been with us.  It's as though his little soul was always with us.  It was just waiting for the opportunity to come into this world.

I'm going back to full time work next week, which is bitter sweet.  My husband and I weighed the options for months and finally decided that it was the right thing to do for our family.  He is going to take on the role of Cedar's primary caregiver, and for having that option, we are blessed and thankful.  Cedar will be in the best of hands.  

Understandably, this transition into my new role as "working mother" weighs heavily on my mind.  I want to grasp onto the memories from the past 4 months that I have been home prioritizing my boy and his needs, both before he was born and since.  It has been an extremely gratifying time, one that I will always treasure and never forget.  

Oftentimes, in the first morning light as he nestles up next to my body nursing, I think to myself how two people couldn't possibly be closer to one another than we are to each other.  It's a magical feeling.  I love everything about my little sweetie.  I love being his as much as I hope he'll always love being mine.
