In Cooper's seventh month of life, I went back to work... or internship. And since my job was an internship this meant I was both a teacher and a student. In this month I learned how to be a working mom and wife.
After spending 6 wonderful months at home with my baby boy I had to leave... and I had no idea how absent I would be. My first day felt like the longest day ever. I think I did some major speeding on the way to daycare to pick him up. I definitely thought about Cooper all day, but at the same time I was ready to dive back into something other than being a mom. And with this feeling came the inevitable guilt.
I had to learn to let the laundry go and the dishes go, even more than when I was taking care of a baby (first 2 months excluded). I had to lean on my partner in crime, my wonderful husband more. And on days where it was tough... really tough, I had to remind myself that I was finishing this degree so I could give the best to my son.
Also during this month, Cooper experience his first snow! (Which bought me a few extra hours with him because of school delays)
