Last week at home...

This week has been such a hard week for me because it is my last week at home on maternity leave.  I have been off of work for 8 weeks and they have flown by.  I haven't been wanting to write this post because every time I think about it I start to cry.  I have fallen in love with being at home with my baby and I feel like 8 weeks is not enough time.  I am ready to just take a leave of absence from my job and just stay home with Tristan.  Since that is not easily possible, I have been asking for advice from everyone/ anyone who will listen.  With the help of my friends and family I have decided to give going back to work a try and see how it goes. The plan is to go back part time, working 4 days a week. I thought that going back to work would be easy for me, but I am truly struggling with it! I never thought I would be a person who would want to stay home with a baby...I am finding out all of these new things about myself now that Tristan is here :)

 Who would want to leave this face?!

 Still so tiny on the big bed:

 Daddy wanted to try these shoes on me!  Really...shoes that fit an 8 week old baby?!

 IS THIS NOT MY CHILD?!  He ALWAYS tries to pull the blankets over his head...

 I love my daddy.

 We are so cute together!

 I gaze into his eyes.

 I will only sit in the bumbo seat for about 5 minutes...but I am getting much better at it!

 He has such a cute smile :)

 Morning stretches:

 Wait!  That wasn't good enough.

 BIGGGG Stretches!!

 Okay...so like I said in my last blog post, I am going to try to cook one new thing a week.  Last week I cooked Mexican salad and homemade queso for my girls night.  I did not take a picture, but I did get a picture of my dish this week:

 

Curry chicken with peppers and brown rice! It is a take off of Erin's Curry Chicken Wrap.  It was very tasty!  I even think Mike liked it!!  SUCCESS!! :)
