Back to work

Today was Gina's first day back at work. It is really hard to believe Harper is 4 months old now. And we were both really dreading today. In the end, I think we were over-anxious, as Gina handled the day pretty well. Of course, today wasn't a true test, as Gina's mom came over to watch Harper for the day, and Gina was able to call and talk to Harper. I think it will be a different story when we have to take her and drop her off for daycare, with people we don't know at all, compared to my parents that will be watching her for the next 2 months. Also very helpful today, was that we have friends that also headed back to work today, or recently, after being out on maternity leave, so Gina could talk to them about what to expect. The one thing I am looking forward to about taking her to my parents or daycare, is that I get to wake her up in the morning. Until now, I would only look at her on the monitor afraid to wake her up. And she has the greatest smile first thing in the morning, like hey, you still love me, awesome.
