Over a week ago I made a trip into the office. As we were discussing my return they assumed I was returning after Memorial Day. I assumed the week prior. I took it as a blessing, if they didn't expect me, I would take advantage of it. Last night I was sure to get all my sugars and hugs in and plenty of baby play time. Although my mother has been eagerly anticipating my return to work, she still wasn't able to keep him. Joe had decided he wanted a four day weekend instead of three, so he requested the day. Joe-alone with the baby! When Cade woke for his morning bottle I gave him to Joe and set off to get ready, not just for myself, but preparing for Joe. I washed all the bottles and laid out plenty of extra clothes. (Clothes that don't have to go over the baby's head was Joe's request.) The hour before take off I snuggled with Cade the best I could. Then I handed him over to Joe telling him he needed a diaper change! Before I made it to the interstate my phone was already buzzing, "where are the clothes for the baby?" I explained where I laid it and an extra, but was told he peed on them. This was going to be interesting.
I didn't receive as many phone calls as I had expected, one because he was crying (do I give him gas drops?), just a few more check ins, and lastly-"I'm starving, what's for dinner? I have a new found respect for what you have been doing for the last four weeks." After a run for the "border" I was home and getting plenty of smiles, from both boys!
