Thoughts

So this is my last week at home with Hudson. I have so many different emotions running through me that they are extremely difficult to describe. I am excited to see my friends back at work and to be a part of a job that I truly love. I will miss being with Hudson all day long. He has been such a blessing to our lives and I have loved every minute that I have been able to spend with him. By the time I go back to work next Monday, I will have been home 12 weeks. I feel extremely blessed that I have been able to stay home as long as I have. I know that not every mom gets this opportunity.

My days are about to change drastically. Right now I wake up at 6am, feed Hudson and then we do exercises and play. The rest of the day is consisted of feeding, playing, running errands and napping. Next week my days will change to getting up at 5am, getting ready for work, feeding Hudson, playing with Hudson and leaving for school by 730. I will then be playing with a whole different group of kids that I love being around. After school I'm sure I will rush home as quickly as possible to play with my little one. Since Hud has been born I have been praying for what this next week will be like. I am constantly wrestling with thoughts of will I still be a good mom if I'm not home all the time, will I be able to teach effectively knowing that my son is at home without me and other similar thoughts. Who knows what the future will hold...we will have to wait and see. I am confident that the Lord will continue to guide this process and I am thankful that I have a loving, supportive husband and family that will be with me every step of the way.
