It's been nice being back at work, but I have to admit that I open my picasa web album at least once a day and check out photos of Owen! He's so darn cute and it's becoming more difficult to be away from him during the day. I thought it would get easier over time, and yet I was fine at first and am just now starting to dread leaving him. That might have something to do with our daily routine...
Bryan and I both wake up around 5:30am (on a normal day; we haven't had many of those lately, though, with all Owen's illnesses) - he gets Owen fed and back to sleep for another hour or two, and I go for a run to try to work off the baby weight. After I'm done showering and getting ready for work, Owen is usually still sleeping and I have to say goodbye to him on the baby monitor. Bryan gets him dressed and takes him to daycare. I get to work fairly early and am able to pick up Owen at daycare before 5pm each day, and then spend the early evenings with him while Bryan finishes up at work.
It's a good routine for us. Except I don't get to see Owen until 5pm! He's way too much fun to only see him for a few hours at night. So sad, but that's the life of a working mom, I guess. I can only hope it truly does get easier (less horrible?) over time.
