One more week!

Well, today begins my last week of maternity leave. I still can’t believe how fast it’s gone. I’m feeling pretty bittersweet about it. On one hand, I’m looking forward to getting dressed up every day, having a more regular schedule and being around adults again! On the other hand, I will really miss all of the one-on-one time I’ve had with Liam. I feel like I’ve been able to bond with him more than anyone, even more than Ben simply because of the amount of time I have with him.

This week we finally bought him a bumbo seat. I wasn’t sure what all the hype was about – until we tried it out. It allows him to sit up, without any help from us and he loves it!

In other news…Ben got a new job! He’ll be a Foster Care Case Manager for Lutheran Social Services of Michigan. Not only will he be working for a better organization, he will have a much more normal work schedule: Monday-Friday 8am-5pm. This also means we’ll finally be able to go to church as a family. And I’m also excited about it because it’s a statewide organization with their largest office in Grand Rapids, so it could potentially help us move closer to family someday.
