So as sad as it was for me, my maternity leave ended and I had to go back to work on October 29, 2007. I don't know when I have felt so sad in my whole life. I had enjoyed my 6 weeks with Caeden so much and I hate the thought of leaving him for even a minute. I contemplated my life and the purpose of it, and while I know God put me on this earth to be a mommy, I also know that he gave me the gift of being a therapist and I needed to return to work to help the kids that I see. I have to admit that my first day back to work was not nearly as hard as I thought it would be. I am so blessed that my grandmother was willing to keep Caeden for me. She is the most patient, kind, and gentle woman and I know that my childhood was so much better because she was a part of it. I knew that there would be no one better to take care of my baby and so I was comforted by the thought that he was being well cared for by Granny. My mom also decided that every Wednesday she would pick him up at noon (she gets a half a day off on Wednesdays) and take care of him the rest of the day. I am so glad that mom and Caeden have their special bonding day and that child is exhausted when he gets home on Wednesday nights. Caeden, Grammie, and Pappy have such a big time together and I can work easier knowing that my child is in good hands :)
