Despite being on maternity leave, the holiday season seems to be getting away from me. I find it amusing that I thought I would have more time to get things done...how fast I forgot how busy I would be with two kiddos! I have barely decorated the house, although this may be a benefit given Brandon's ever curious hands. We have already lost three ornaments from the tree! There seems to be too little time to make cookies (let alone decorate them), go see Christmas lights, get holiday pictures taken, and wrap gifts (which luckily are mostly all bought).
I am so happy that this season we will be able to participate in the Angel Tree program, at Rick Engineering, to help give to those who are less fortunate! We will be giving gifts to a 4 year old boy and a 6 year old girl. I am too excited to go to Target and purchase their presents!!!
Mason is doing well, his bandage fell off last night, revealing a healed incision line! I can't believe how fast an infants skin heals. Hopefully the surgeon will sign off of us at our follow up appointment next week.
I have started the count down to my return to work with mixed feelings. It will be nice to interact with adults again and use my clinical skills. I feel more confident leaving Mason (and Brandon) with Ms. Catherine since Brandon has done so well there, he really loves her! I am not fooling myself, those first couple weeks will likely include tear-filled mornings (both for me and the kiddos). Nothing is harder than starting your day with tears in your eyes and the feeling of guilt as I drive to work. As Diane tells me, motherhood is riddled with guilt.
