Hi everyone,
I hope all of you are doing well.
I have been back at work since September and my baby has been in daycare 3 days a week. He’s been sick a few times, had RSV, but I understand they get sick alot the first year of daycare.
They post photos of him/his class on Instagram.
My husband tells me I’m on a mission from God, that’s why I’m not at home caring for Matthew. That God already knows my desire to stay home. On his daycare days I try to remember to say a Rosary that morning for his protection. Some of his photos in Instagram he looks sad. He was out for 2 weeks sick so I guess he’s adjusting again.
My back is in constant pain. He’s a chunky angel. He shows love at 7 months by giving gummy bites all over my chin and cheeks while pulling out my side hairs.
I wanted to give a little update and also just say we’re trying for me to stay home by next August but every time he goes to daycare (I trust he’s in a safe place) I feel bad because I don’t feel he’s in a “loving” place. I’m fine, I just wonder if any moms out there have their babies in daycare and how old and when did it get easier for mom and baby.
Is my husband right? The Lord knows my desires and my answer now is no. I love Him so it’s bearable. He must be giving me strength without me even being aware. It’s sad though to leave him there even after so many months.
I love you guys. Thanks for letting me share my heart with you all. God bless.❤️
 
I was just thinking about you 🙂

Yes, God knows you desires, and remember to offer up your suffering!

Praying for you every day!
 
Thank you Little lady! For your prayers and also for that important reminder. They say you’re more relaxed as an older mom. I find I’m always on edge. Definitely was more relaxed in my 20’s.
 
I think he meant if I’m not home like I wish to be it means God has another mission for me at this time.

I, too, have thought about you and prayed for you.

Have you considered caring for a couple or three more, whose mothers worry as you do, in your home? That would definitely be a full time job!
