Well, I made it through the first week. Dylan probably did better than I did. My first 2 days back were slow and boring. I just wanted to cry I wanted to be home so bad! Dylan cried for a little while on the first day. On the 2nd day, it was a little tougher on him. He knew what he was in for. By the 3rd day, he cried when I left, but then stopped as soon as I was gone. So that was nice to hear. He is sweet, he cries so his mama knows he will miss her!
Nana was here last week, so....totally spoiled! They had a lot of fun together. He stayed with her some while I was at work. Of course she let him eat all the things he shouldn't, like pop tarts, ice cream, cheese cake, chocolate (Snickers) and I can't remember what else. She called last night and I told her I thought his tummy had been bothering him. She said....Really?? I said...well, can't imagine why!!!! Her buying his love worked! He was giving her kisses and just as happy to see her at the end of the day as he was to see me. They really bonded on this trip. I am very glad.
He is really wanting to walk. He will walk around the coffee table and will go pretty fast when holding onto our fingers. He just doesn't have the balance yet, and he was a little nervous about walking around stuff, but I see him getting braver. He thinks he is hot stuff when he walks around the table. The therapist have finially realized that my son is stubborn and decided that he should practice walking around the furnature! (Welcome to my world!) Hence the reason he ends up in our bed every night around 2-3:00. I finally gave up trying to win the battle of him sleeping in his own bed. I had no support. My husband is too big hearted and my mom made me feel like a heel! Everyone is against me...so he will probably be in our bed until he is 80!!! (ok, so not that long, but a while)
Everything else is going well, we had our 2nd post placement visit. After November he will officially be Dylan. Well, guess I should get back to work! (See how my heart is in it!)

You really can't win for losing on the sleep thing. You have people telling you how wrong it is to let them sleep with you, and people telling you much better it is for them if they do. What it came down to for me was..hey..I HAVE to get some rest. There are many many MANY well adjusted people out there that slept with momma and daddy when they were little. Just enjoy the rest. Glad things are evening out some for you. :)

The first week back is always the toughest. Glad to hear that you AND Dylan are starting to settle into the new routine. And I just LOVE your family picture in the sidebar!
So glad that you guys are finding your routine! Dylan sure seems happy! :)
You have a beautiful son. We are waiting to adopt a baby girl from Vietnam. Congratulations! We have a journal on Journeytome.com/Kaylee.
I thought a lot about you last week. The first couple of weeks are the hardest. It sounds like Dylan is adjusting beautifully. Have a great week!!!
I'm glad you survived the first week back. We have been thinking about you.
Here's to hoping this week is a little easier.
Oh how I remember what you are going through. Going back to work can be so hard and yet so wonderful if your child is going through a difficult stage. Dylan is such a cutie! I'm thinking you are right and he is going to skip crawling. Dawn
I thought about you this past week. I go back on Thursday. YUCK! They say it soon becomes the "norm". I hope they are right. :)
