First Day

I made it.

I only got four hours of sleep last night. I cried when I went to bed. I cried when I woke up. I cried as I nursed him this morning. I cried on my way to work. I cried a little at work too.

Still, once I got to work and got rolling I was able to get things done. I thought of him constantly, but I was okay. I knew he was safe and loved. I knew I had work to do. I knew it was only five hours. I knew in my heart he was okay.

I got home at one and he didn't look any bigger than when I left him. He didn't look like he forgot me. He didn't look mad. He nursed and I kissed him a million times and we were both okay.

It will be easier tomorrow.

  1. oh Sarah, it sounds traumatic. How am I going to do that with TWO???

    But you're right - every day will get a tiny bit easier. Not easy, but easier :)
