Our day started like normal, Matt and Leila had their breakfasts together, followed by a dance party in the kitchen. Leila went down for her first nap, Matt was heading out the door, and then it happened. I snapped at him for no reason, he wondered what he did wrong, and I cried. Well folks, this is the type of weird, random emotion that apparently comes out when a mom is faced with leaving her baby for work. Who knew?! Of course it all worked out fine...Matt gave me a hug, I pulled out the old black bar tending outfit, Gma Ish arrived to babysit, I gave Leila a kiss, and off I went.
Like I said before, it really ended up not being so bad. Once I got to work, it was like no time had passed from when I last worked, only I could actually fit behind the bar again, and unfortunately had to lift my own buckets of ice. Everyone was excited to hear all about little Leila, so I enjoyed telling all about her...probably more information than anyone really wanted. Before I knew it, it was time to head home where I found Leila sleeping peacefully in her swing, unaware that I had even taken this step in our journey.
Just waking up from a nap..."Mom, could you at least wait until I'm out of my crib!"
"What! Another picture!"
"I'm not smiling." But still so cute!!!
Awww Aimee... :( I bet I would have cried too leaving sweet Leila.. My heart seriously melts every time I see a picture of her...even though I'm still scared and scarred from my last attempt to bond with her :)
ReplyDeleteDoes Grampa Tom know how much Leila looks EXACTLY like him in the last pix? Whoa!
