So why am I such a mess? I never thought it would be this hard to leave him. My heart aches all day long. I went to see him during lunch today. It’s about a 12 minute walk each way. I have a feeling I’ll be burning a little dirt path between the daycare and my office.
I know people say it gets easier, but does it? My friends in Europe get many months, if not a year or more off for maternity leave. In the nine hours I’m away from him each day, he’s changing and learning so much. And I’m missing it.
He fell asleep in the car on the way home. After he woke up, he ate and was awake for maybe an hour before falling asleep again. One or two hours a day of interaction with him is just not enough. I know he is going to be fine, but at the moment I don’t know if I will be.
