Dear Sweet Baby Grey,
Today I went back to work. We've had many blissful, and sometimes tiring, weeks with together and today signifies a change for us. I want you to know that I'm happy about going back to work. I feel a sense of purpose in my work, I build relationships there, and I exercise my mind; all important things to have a well-rounded life. However, I've never had such a beautiful 10 weeks as those I spent with you. We woke up together, slept (minimally) together, played together, and watched life pass by peacefully together. Our days consisted of talking, laughter, smiles, coos, squeals and happiness. I've learned your sounds and looks, your happy, your sad, your in-between. All of them I love like you will never know until you have a child of your own. I feel lucky to have gotten 10 uninterrupted weeks with you; something I may never have the opportunity to have again.
But this new chapter in our lives together will be a good one. You get to spend time with other children, learning from them. You get to spend time with your Aunt Cassie and get to know her better. And you will grow from this experience in a way that I can't provide you alone. So, I will be happy to know that you too will build relationships, exercise your mind and you will probably feel a sense of purpose spending time with all your new BFFs.
But I will miss the time we spent alone together day after day. I love you Sweet Baby Grey.
Love,
Mama
