[day 46] togetherness. the start of maternity leave.

It’s official. I’m CEO of my house!

I’m finally on maternity leave (medical leave of absence) for the next few months away from work. I love the people I work with, but I rather spend my time at home with my babies. I can’t wait for lazy days in my undies, cleaning the house, shopping trips, and surrounding myself every single day with my boys. I’ll be home with my angelic newborn within the next few weeks, but for now, it will just be evan and I during the day since Aiden and Dylan are at school until the afternoon.

This morning, my husband packed me breakfast since he knows I eat like there’s no tomorrow when I’m pregnant and left a sweet note on my lunch bag. After 16 years together, he’s still the same man I’ve fallen in love with. I could never fall out of love with him because we’ve been through so many challenges in life and have overcome every single challenge together. It takes two to tango and he’s the man for me. He’s always thrilled to do his part as a husband and father. He knows I have attachment issues and couldn’t wait to be home to watch our babies and assume my responsibility because that’s what I love.

Some people have a difficult time on maternity leave, but this would be my fourth time out and to be honest, I always look forward to it. I know there are some that are pessimistic and it can be one of the most difficult times since you’re embarking on a journey with a newborn and could possibly be confused and sleep deprived. But for me, I’m so used to it. I’ve lowered my expectations and I’ve already adjusted to motherhood. Maybe, that's where the extra bonus comes in. This is my fourth baby (hopefully, one more to come in the future). I can't wait to meet this little man.

Thanks papa for my breakfast.

Love my boyx. xoxo.
