Sigh

Today is my first official day back at work and I can honestly say that I'd be more OK with it, if Natalie was just a bit older. I'm lucky that she is with my Mom for a few weeks and then my sister after that, but I can't help feeling like I'll be missing moments of her baby stage and that stings.

These are the times I wish I lived in a country where my job would be secure for at least six months. To me that's a more appropriate time frame for a mom to have off from her job without fear of losing it. My work has been very supportive thus far, but they definitely wanted me back the second my three months was up.

Time is whipping by. I never quite feel like I'm able to catch my breath.
