Yes, I'm returning to work in just a little under 2 weeks! eek! Per the doctors suggestion, we've hired a nanny for Leo this year. I've always been one to be excited for my child to go to daycare and interact with other little ones so it was a hard choice, but I knew it was best for little Leo and his still maturing lungs. We've hired a lovely lady who has a lot of experience, even a year with a little preemie (smaller than Leo). She needs to update her first aid and CPR so I am taking a course with her on Saturday. After that, she will spend a day will me next week and a couple of days with Leo during my first week back at school. She will be full time after Labor Day. It will be hard to leave the little nugget with someone else, but I knew this days was coming - just not nearly as fast as it did.
On an unrelated note, Leo is smiling like crazy and even throws out a few giggles here and there. He's rolled over a couple of times, but not consistently. His teacher says he on the right path and doing well. He still breaths quickly, but it's not getting any worse...I'd say were pretty happy that at this time this seems to be his only medical issue. Pretty great considering only .5% of babies are born weighing as little as Leo.
I'm starting to feel back to myself again. I am now finally off of all my medicines and my blood pressure is back to normal. It's been a crazy year for me and Leo, and I am just so fortunate that it is turning out to be okay for both of us!
