Now that the new baby smell is starting to wear off, I’m starting to think about what the next steps are.
Baby is certainly thriving. Very alert & seriously cute. Staying at home with him is rewarding and feels right.
But what about work? Do I go back sooner or later?
A lot of change stirring in the pot for family and friends. This is inspiring.
How can our little family make the best choices for ourselves, our extended family, network and our greater community? It feels like we have enough resources to share with those who may need it. It may not be of monetary value but now that I’m more settled as a mommy, I’d like to contribute in other ways.
Perhaps I miss work (I do). More importantly, I miss helping others in the small ways that I can.
But this darling child. Who will read to you & cherish little moments with you? Your grandmothers (lucky them & lucky you, baby) or a stranger? Oh dear.
Surely in time things will resolve. I trust I will make the choices that best suit our family’s needs. It’s a battle, I suppose.
For now, this little guy is rising like a sprout. I best to water him well.
