Go Beach!

is what Patrick used to say very excitedly when he was little getting ready to go to the beach. Needless to say, GO BEACH, we are packing up the family, all five of us (dogs included), and heading to Harbor Island, SC in the morning for a week! Yay! Well, kind of. Next week also marks the LAST week I have of maternity leave which makes today a very sacred day being my last day home with just her and I.

I knew this time would come and that my blissful 12 weeks at home would come to an end, I just never imagined it would feel like this. It's so hard to explain how much I LOVE being home with her. Not to say I don't love my job too, I do, and everyone at Diamond Creek has been more than amazing, I just don't want to miss a second of her life and worry about all the things every new mother worries about when faced with this crossroad.

I know we'll get through it and am not going to focus on the negative or make it worse by dreading it, rather I'm going to enjoy every second of these next 10 days. This beach trip will be a fun adventure and the first of many fun-filled family vacations!
