I am so very thankful for my mama. Seriously. Because...even though I don't get to do this with my sweet girl during the week anymore....(cuddling on the couch if you can't tell from the awkward picture angle)
I know she is in the BEST, most LOVING hands she can be in right now apart from her mama or daddy:) My mom retired last year and wasn't quite ready to, but because she is a teacher and did some state retirement thing, it was her time. So this past year she has been doing long term subs for maternity leaves, etc. My mom LOVES her grandchildren and would do anything in the world for her children (for a while anyways!) but she is not the type of grandma who could stay home all day every day with her grandchildren. She is way too active and on the go and my parents like to go out of town way too much!! Especially in the summer. So, I am extremely grateful that she is keeping Collins for us until she starts childcare at church at the end of July. It has made going back to work SO much easier on me. My mom is coming to our house for the first month (which is EXTREMELY nice considering it is a 45 minute drive) and then we will meet in the middle. So, right now I get to go home during lunch and love on my girl. Because of my mom I won't have to go thru the "leave your child with strangers" thing until she is 5 months old. I think and hope by then it will be a little easier. I know that would have been extremely hard to do at 8 weeks old.
So, while I get sad that I don't get to love on my baby all day every day anymore I am so happy that her Lolly does. My mom takes her on walks and plays with her a lot which is so nice. I really pray that Collins and I have the same close relationship that my mom and I have:)
Moms are the BEST!
Loves!
