back to work

Back to work-This week will be my third full week back at work. It's difficult to make the transition but having grandma Jackie around was a huge help. Its hard to leave Finn in the mornings as he's so talkative and all smiles in the morning. I've tried to adjust my hours-going in early and leaving earlier helps but the commute and crazy gas prices are something that I have not missed.
I had my first day last week that Finn was already down for the night by the time I got home-thanks to Mariners traffic. That broke my heart but he ended up waking up so I got to feed him and rock him back to sleep.
Not only did Jackie watch Finn while we were at work but she gave him so much love and attention. It really helped me get through the work days knowing he was being so well cared for and loved. Having an extra pair of hands and grandma love made every day easier. Jackie helped in the morning so I could get ready, helped in the evening while we cooked etc. Most of all it was fun to watch Finn connect with her as she read to him, talked to him, played with him and changed him. We cant thank her enough.
