The First Time He Hath Peed On Us

Something that I was really hoping my son would never do to me was pee on me. I know it is hilarious when you see it and hear about it, but it is not fun when it actually happens to you the first time. I was able to dodge it and caught it in a receiving blanket, my face showed relief and my son had his signature single dimple smile. My husband was not so lucky. This evening for the first time Baby E decided not to pee on my husband in a spray but he peed through his Huggies diaper on my husband. Baby E-1, Husband-0! At first I think it is the most disgusting thing and want to grimace but my husband and I after being stressed, and dead tired laughed. Compared to what we are going through right now in our lives a little pee is no biggy.

What did you consider a big baby deal prior to becoming parents? Potty Training? Throw up? Embarrassing tantrums?

Now things like that us are just plain old normal.

End of Maternity Leave

Today I spent the whole day with my son. I was selfish, and carried him around in my arms until he fell asleep. Even then I would not put him down.

As a now working mom, like others my maternity leave is over and I must return to my job. I did not expect to feel this overwhelming need to cry, or feeling like my chest is going to explode. I had thought “it will be no problem, everyone does it.” Now I see how wrong I was.

This was my last day of maternity, and I do not know how I am going to cope at work. It is going to be the hardest thing I am ever going to do tomorrow morning. I do not think it would be as difficult if I did not commute nearly an hour, and could come home on lunch.

I do not know how much endurance I have within me. I may end up bawling my eyes out and rushing home. I will need to leave my son in the trusty hands of my sister who is willing to sit for the next 4 weeks- God bless her!

Anxiety, sadness, weepy, hurt, guilty are only a couple things I am feeling. The most being love, I never thought I would feel as strongly for another person as I do now. And when I met met and fell in love with my husband I thought that was the happiest I could and most I could love someone. Boy how wrong was I ??
