The Weekend...The End of Maternity Leave...and my Favorite things

So we spent Saturday and Sunday hanging out as a family of three. It was relaxing and rejuventating. I'm not at all ready to face the work week. But it's here none the less.

I have been wanting to do a "My Favorite Things" post for some time now...and given that I'm heading back to a full week of work in just 12 short hours...my heart is already breaking at the thought of leaving Owen all day everyday this week until Friday...and I really want to cry about it...I decided what better time than to think about the last 10 weeks...and the weeks to come...and focus on the positive. Dwell on all the wonderful blessings in my life and the anticipation of things to come!

My favorite things from the past 10 weeks:

Meeting Owen and seeing this face for the first time


Surviving a long Labor, a C-Section and finally Delivery


My Amazing Husband


Putting Owen in his crib for the first time


Dancing Owen to sleep several times a day


Spiderman PJ's


Owen's smile


Monkeys


Owen in navy blue


Our first trip to the park


Owen falling asleep in his bath


Celebrating My First Mother's Day


Here some things you can't put pictures with...but are still favorites that should be included.

Learning that Owen loves to be outside.
Learning that Owen loves music.
Learning to be a parent.
Having amazing friends and family.
Learning to be a Mom, a wife, a friend.
Being able to keep our laundry completely caught up.
Feeling more connected with my husband than ever before.
Being blessed enough to spend not 6, not 8, but 10 whole weeks with my son before returning to work!
