Ava wearing her "My Aunt Loves Me" shirt (purchased by Aunt Bethany :) )
Ava and her giant Mickey (she also has Minnie, but I liked this picture)
I think she looks like a little doll in this one.
So glad she finally likes her crib now. (She loves her Pooh mobile.) Well, I am officially a working mother now. I started back to work yesterday and only cried a lot! I cried some on Sunday and then I cried yesterday morning when I left and when I got to school and people were asking about Ava. I have been with her for 9 full weeks and 9 full months and it is like she is a part of me. I just didn't want to let go even for 7 hours! The great thing is that her Nana brings her to me at school on my lunch and I nurse her. She is so fantastic to do this for me and I really appreciate it. Anne is also really enjoying being with Ava.
This past weekend Aunt Bethany came to stay with us and we had a great time. We took lots of pictures of Ava and I am posting some of them, but the rest ya'll can't see until closer to Halloween! They are a surprise and a cute surprise at that.
Hi Tiffy,
ReplyDeleteI am always amazed at how soon you have to go back to work after giving birth. I think it is truly amazing that you are actually doing it!!!! In Denmark, you get a year, full paid, maternity leave. It's in the law, so there are no exceptions, other than some mothers prefer to be on maternity leave only for maybe 6 months. There are no day care centers here who'll accept babies under the age of 8 months, so if you go back to work before that, you'll have to find some private daycare. Anyway, just wanted to let you know I think it is great and amazing that you do it, and I am sure it is going to work well....and you are lucky you have a trusted person to take care of the precious thing :o)
Hugs
