Back to Work

Well I finally had to go back to work this week after nine weeks of maternity leave. Luckily it was just a three day week so I got to snuggle all day today with my boys! Much needed after being away from them this week!!! Even though I would love to stay home with my boys, I have several blessings to be thankful for in returning to work:

1. That I have a job. With the way the job market looks now, I'm thankful that I am able to go back to work and provide for my children.
2. That I have some great co-workers - especially my sweet friend April - that make the work day more enjoyable.
3. That my mom is watching Easton until he is one year old. It makes a huge difference not having to worry about him being with someone he doesn't know when I leave him at home.
4. That I have a private room at work to pump in. Granted it's in the middle of our lab, which is occupied only by men...can we say awkward! Lol! BUT, I get to pump in a quiet place, with a locked door, and am able to provide milk for my son while I'm away from him.
5. That my sweet little boy is sleeping through the night! Yay Easton!!! Mama is grateful!
6. That I got to come home to this precious smile...

I'm sure the list could go on and on. But the point is that God blesses us every day and in every situation. Even though I didn't really want to go back to work this week, I am able to quickly name blessings God provided so leaving my boys wouldn't be quite as hard. Some blessings will smack you in the face and others you have to look a little harder for. But they're always there. God is just waiting on us to notice them.

Thank you God for the many blessings you give, everyday!
