I go back to work this week, which I embrace for its utter normal-ness and the fact that Jonah is well enough for us to feel comfortable with him away from us, but of course have mixed emotions as any mom will. I planned to return to work on a Wednesday so that my first week back would be short. My mom and my mother-in-law will watch Jonah for the next month and he'll start at daycare in September. He'll only go twice a week and I'll stay home one day a week with my mother-in-law taking the other two days. We'll do that for a while and see how it goes, probably transitioning to full 5-day weeks at daycare sometime near the end of the year.
We also went and took Jonah's 3 month professional photographs. We just went to JCPenney's and on a weekday so there would be less kids around. So far I haven't had to worry about too much sickness but I know it will be a paranoid winter for me. They've told me its critical that Jonah not get sick in the first six months and it would be better if he didn't have any sickness that touched his lungs in the first year. It's promising to be a crazy flu season with H1N1 going around but we will try our hardest!
Here are a few photos of us enjoying the last bit of summer.
