I love you. I've loved you since September 29, 2011. But we are also in a fight. For you have left me, maternity leave. I guess it is over for us... My time is up. And I'm sad about it. More than sad. You allowed me to bond with my baby boy, my most precious gift. 12.5 un-interrupted weeks of baby angel and mommy bonding. Wow! What a blessing you were.
There were tears from both Hudson and me, more sleepless nights than I'd like to count, and an unlimited amount of frantic questions about raising a newborn.... All worth it. Best 12.5 weeks of my life!
I've been back at work for 2 days now. It actually wasn't that bad, and only a few tears were shed.... But dont think I don't think about you all the time, maternity leave.
Here are a few things that will always remind me of you:
- Friends on tvland from 10-12 pm
- fall afternoon strolls
- my pj sets with the button up tops (easy for nursing mommies)
- speaking of pjs, staying in them all day
- so many loads of baby clothes laundry
- Greys Anatomy on lifetime
- babyswise
- the music on our little lamb swing and bouncy... Still hear those sounds in my dreams
- getting to know the sweetest face in the world
I really am going to miss you, maternity leave! You are a great friend. I guess we'll meet again with the next bambino. And yes, I've got a timeline for that!
Love,
Kristin and Hudson Lindley
