Today I went into work for an end of the year luncheon for the staff. As I was driving to school, my mind brought me back to this time last year when I had just finished packing up my classroom, and was not returning as a full-time teacher because of Avery's due date in October.
When I left last year, there was such a strong sense of anticipation! I couldn't wait for the rest of my pregnancy to unfold, attend two more baby showers over the summer, and eventually meet Avery in the fall. I knew in June that there was a part of my life about to be complete, and boy was that feeling right!
And life as I know it now if so different! Life is full of diapers, schedules, feedings, babysitters, and toys! There isn't a minute during my day when I don't have Avery on my mind. When I left work today, the feeling of anticipation wasn't there- and that's okay. It was a different feeling...I was a mom going home to my baby girl...the sweetest job I've ever had!
