My maternity leave ends in just a few short hours and I am definitely feeling sad. My head tells me that it is the right thing to do, but I just don't feel ready. I do feel fortunate to have been home for 13 weeks but man have they passed quickly. If Callum was sleeping through the night, I might be a bit more prepared but he just isn't there yet. I'm not sure how I am going to handle working and getting up throughout the night--although Iain will be doing this more frequently than he has had to while I was at home exclusively. On a lighter note, our cats provided some humor this morning. Iain got up and fed Callum at 4 a.m. and put him back to bed. At 7:15 a.m., I woke up to Henry scratching at our bedroom door. When I let him in, he proceeded to sit on me, meow and basically annoy the heck out of both of us. Shuster came in shortly after to help Henry out with waking us up. Iain told me that they had food because he put extra out when he made up Callum's bottle a few hours earlier. Well I couldn't figure out what was wrong. I finally went downstairs to see that Iain had given the cats some leftover "diet" cat food from when Shuster had been having stomach problems. He and Henry wouldn't eat it! Can you believe these picky cats??? Are they spoiled or what? When I put more regular food out, they munched away happily and left us alone. Too bad Callum woke up 10 minutes later. The rest of the day has been good though. I hope that your Sunday has gone well and think about the three of us tomorrow when we start this transition. I guess I could always close my door and sleep in my office if I had to... J/K :-)
