Back to work...
Yesterday I started back to work. Leaving both kids was difficult - especially with Brady clinging to my every move as I tried to get ready. Allie cried that she wanted me to stay home. They did great with Ryan though and I am so thankful he is able to stay home with them for a while. Routine and structure are good although I hate thinking about all that I am missing while I am away. When Allie was small she was in daycare 40 plus hours a week - it killed me to pick her up and hear that she had been walking, talking, etc. I am sure I will feel the same way with Brady eventually also but am thankful that for now he is home with Ryan and that I am no longer in class two - three nights a week after a long day. Ryan is preparing for upcoming job interviews now that we are home (he had to turn down a few because we were in Russia). It is likely that with his new line of work he will be working evening and weekend hours, which we are actually happy with so as to avoid the whole daycare scene...or at keep the hours in daycare to a minimum.

I can't even imagine how I'll feel when it's time for me to go back to work. It's one of my biggest fears. It's great that Ryan can stay home - I'm hoping Keith will be able to for a while too. I hope your first day went well!
Amy -
I'm sure that must have been so hard for you to head back to work! My prayers will be with you for you and your family to figure out a way to avoid the daycare scene! MJ
Let us know how Brady and Allison do. I am sure Allison loved having you home so much and I know it must be difficult to leave Brady so soon. I think it's great that Ryan is home for now. It will make the transition easier. Thinking about you!
Returning to work must be so hard. I hope the transition goes well for you and your family. I hated returning to work after our son was born, and I know the time spent at home after the adoption will fly by and once again I will be at work. I keep trying to work it out to stay home for awhile, but we have to sell our house first!!
Going back to work has got to be the hardest part. I am not looking forward to that either.

I'm sure it has been hard to go back to work. It is great that your husband can be home with the kids though! I hope things go well as you make the transition back to your job! Happy New Year!
Amy, I can only imagine how hard it must be for you to go back to work. I know it must make it a bit easier knowing Allie and Brady are with Ryan. That's the only way I've been comfortable with leaving Owen on Saturdays to work, knowing he's with Jim. Owen will eventually be in preschool too, but we're trying to keep him with us as long as we can. I hope it continues to work for you to avoid daycare for Brady for a while. I hope you had a good first day back at work and that it wasn't too hard on any of you. Isn't it so wonderful coming home to your children after being away from them all day?!?
