Back to work?

Time seems to be flying by these days. I keep looking at the calendar only to realize how close September 28th is getting. What happens on September 28th? Well, I go back to work. Ugh. If you had asked me a year ago - I would have said I would never would want to be a stay at home mom. I really didn't think I was cut out for it. Honestly, I don't think I would want to stay home full time, but I really wish I could go back only part time and stay home part time. It's just not in the cards for us right now.

I'm lucky that my boss is allowing me to "work from home" on Fridays, so August will be home with me on Fridays. I'm hoping this will work at least for a few months. I'm guessing that eventually he's going to get to a point where he's going to be too "busy" to be around and work at the sametime. A nanny will be coming 2 days a week and then Chris' mom will be watching him the other 2 days. I hope this schedule will work for at least 10 months and then we will likely transition to day care.

This past weekend, Auggie met my grandma and his great grandma. She was so happy to meet him. Her mind isn't what it use to be anymore - and she frequently forgets what you say to her usually about 5 minutes after you say it. She kept asking Chris and I if we needed to do any shopping - if so, we could leave the baby with her for a while for a little babysitting. How sweet is that of her to offer? We obviously didn't, but it was nice of her to offer.

Auggie is starting to smile a bit more, giggle a little bit and today he slept until almost 8:00. I really can't stand the thought of him doing stuff while I'm not here (like while I'm not at work). So, I'm really hoping that he learns to crawl, walk and talk all in the next month :)
