This has been my first week home with Illianna. It is so rewarding to put her to sleep at night and hardly hear a peep of protest out of her because she’s had such a fulfilling day. I’ve been around to take care of all her needs and a couple of her wants ‘hold me, hold me, hold me’. She is one happy baby and I’m one happy Mommy. I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
Speaking of shoulders, I can actually feel mine again. They don’t just consist of knots. While I’m still looking forward to our day at the spa we have planned while in Tahoe, it’s not as though I’m just dying for it. It’s as if I’m on a whole new path of self discovery. Take away the corporate world, and some sharp edges dull. They’re not necessary anymore. You come back to your roots. It’s been exciting to watch everyone grow.
I’m so appreciative of all Ryan does to make it possible for me to be at home and run our household properly. We really are so blessed.
