It's been 3 months - I can't believe it's been 3 months and I'm to go back to work full time next month. Definitely a part of me that's ready to go back to the workforce and interact with adults, but I worry about leaving her with strangers.We are looking into daycare and such, but they are still strangers and I'm not crazy about the idea at all. Thankfully her grandma Karen will be taking care of her for the first 2 weeks of January so that I can ease into work without worrying about leaving her with strangers.
Today we drove to Eldorado Hills north of Sacramento to hang out with Chris' brother, Erick and his wife Jeannie. They have a gorgeous home and we had fun sharing Aesha. She has gotten so much cuter, if that's possible. Her personality and her features are becoming more prominent. She's growing. Sometimes I look at her and still can't believe we are related. It still hasn't hit me yet I guess.
I love this picture AG took of us at my mom's house; it reflects how I feel about her. That I'm watching over her, but allowing her to figure things out on her own. I spend a lot of time going through memories of when someone discussed what they felt or what they would do with their child and I didn't understand. And now I run that scenario through my mind and am beginning to realize how little I didn't understand and how different my responses are now. Another stage of maturity.... I'm not sure why I'm spending so much time with this exercise...
