Workin momma

Dear Ella,
Yesterday was my first day back at work, and it seems as though you knew because the morning when sleep meant the most, you decided to start rolling over in your sleep and waking yourself up every couple of hours. So up and down went daddy, back and forth went mommy to roll you over and put you back to sleep...until we just couldn't get up anymore and snuggled you in bed with us. Oh, and you also Got your first little tooth, no big deal. The mornings aren't as rough for me, since I've gotta be up eventually anyway, but daddy can't catch up on sleep. Sorry poppa, we'll let you sleep in on Thursday, until 9, hee hee.
But anyway, enough of the waa waa waa. We love you and we know this moment of rough mornings is only temporary. I miss miss miss you. I go crazy when 2pm rolls around and I just want to bolt out the door and drive home to you! Being back to work during the holidays is crazy! But it'll make time go by faster. And even though I'm back at work, you and poppa will always be my priority, I promise. Because even though work is important...there is never ever anything more important than the two loves of my life. I miss our mornings together with sesame street, Elmo, coffee runs, simply holding you in your pjs, nursing you, oh great, now I'm all teary eyed. I've tried to have a brave face and not cry, but I miss you more than words can say. Poppa says it hopefully won't be for too long. And I just look forward to that day. I always knew this day would come, but the silver lining in all of this is that you're with daddy. I know you're in good hands with him, and he treats you like the princess that you are. I know over the course of this time, you're bond will grow. I can always be thankful for that. It comforts me too when I can video chat with you both on my breaks, and I'm home by
3pm.
I hope my transition becomes easier in the coming weeks. We'll be taking you soon to see Santa and reindeer, although somehow I predict tears when you see the jolly fat man with a white beard. Love you always, -momma
