Ho Ho Ho & Boo Hoo Hoo

Remy’s first Christmas was my very last day of maternity leave.  How sad…  Christmas was lots of fun.  He’s obviously not old enough to open presents or even know what’s going on but it’s still fun to give him presents.  He got lots of clothes, books and a few toys.  Spoiled rotten he is!  We have one more Christmas celebration with my mom’s side of the family this weekend and then it’s all over.

Everything goes in his mouth these days!  One of Remy's new outfits he got from Santa.

I went back to work the day after Christmas and leaving him at daycare was one of the most difficult things I’ve had to do.  My very good friend is doing his daycare so that makes me feel better that I’m leaving him with someone I know and trust completely BUT it wasn’t ME spending my day with him and it was very very difficult to leave.  The waterworks started on Christmas and I cried all the way over to drop him off and all the way to work.  I was quite worried about how he’d do without me and apparently he’s just fine!  I probably miss him more than he misses me.  He’s taking a bottle just fine and taking plenty of naps.  I get pictures and updates throughout the day so that helps.  I miss him desperately but it’s getting a little bit easier each day that goes by.  Picking him up at 5:20 and only getting to spend a few hours with him before he goes to bed is difficult.  I sure wish there were more hours in the day!  But I’ve got to work so I can bring home the bacon…. Back to reality.  :(
