Aug 26

it did get better

Aug 26

Well, everyone was right. I cried the first day back to work, but not the second. One week in and I’m already used to it. I guess you just do what ya gotta do.

But instead of writing a post, I decided to do a post in pictures to show you exactly why this situation is working out so well. And without further ado… here’s last week.

This was how Addison (Molly’s cousin) reacted to waking up and seeing her at my sister’s house:

Addi loves helping Aunt Ashley take care of the baby. She helps with the bottle…

She reads to her…

She even shares her dinosaur.

Sometimes naptime can get a little loud, but Molly knows just what to do.

Other times, naptime is quiet, especially when cousin Avery is sleeping, too.

Molly’s cousins like to get chocolate on her, and sometimes it gets on her pretty outfit. Then Aunt Ashley has to do some laundry.

Meanwhile, at work, Mommy does stuff like this:
pumping

It’s always a good day for tummy time!

Or for just hanging out and being adorable.

Did I mention how much Molly loves being outside? She especially loves to rock on the porch and wait for Daddy to pick her up. And sometimes this happens:

After Molly leaves, her cousins miss her. But that’s OK, because they found someone to keep her rocker warm while she’s not there.

Now… do you see why I’m not so sad anymore?
