I have about a week before I report back to work, and so it will be bittersweet. Babies are a full time job and so I hope our babysitter will take good care of him. As I go through a typical day with B. I wonder, will the sitter do this? will she know to do that? He can get angry and fussy (like today) when he's hungry and tired. It will be tough to do, but I made a commitment to my boss to return. I can understand why a mom would not want to go back to her job after taking leave...and I could understand why she would want to go back to work ASAP. We shall see how it goes - and I hope B. behaves for her.
Other news...the house debate still stands. It's a big investment and the future is unknown - are the prices and interest rate the best they will be in a long time? Who knows, but more research is required.
