So, my time as a Stay-at-home Mom has come to a close. On Monday I will be going back to work. I think it will be one of the hardest things I will ever do.

Before Cambria was born, and even before I ever got pregnant, I was a little afraid of the day that I would have a baby to be responsible for ALL DAY LONG. It intimidated me because I never felt I was really a “baby person”. When we brought Cambria home from the hospital I was a little nervous. I couldn’t believe that they were just going to let me walk out of the hospital with a baby, even if I had given birth to it.

For the first few days, Ryan was around to help out. But then he had to go back to work. I never panicked about having to take care of her all by myself. For some reason, I felt competent enough to care for her. People are right when they say, “It will be different when it is your own.” It is so very true. I took to mothering very well. I actually ENJOY babies! (At least my own.)

On Monday I go back to work. I won’t get to spend my mornings in bed with Cambria, talking and cooing with her and seeing her happy morning smiles. I’ll only get to see that on the weekends.

But at least I will have this fabulous baby and a wonderful husband to come home to at the end of the day!
