So after I got off maternity, I still actually had a lot of vacation days built up so I spoke with my boss and for the most part, I'm going to be taking off every Friday until the university goes on "summer hours" in May which is when the school is closed on Fridays anyway. The only exception to this is if my coworker is off on a Friday- I need to be at work, and for those few Fridays I was able to make other arrangements with my family to watch lil man. I realized how blessed I am to be able to do this set up. Also, it's nice because we are saving $200 a month in babysitting cost.
Even though it's a day "off", I still got up nice a early because Sammy Jay likes to eat at 5:00am. I won't lie, if I put him back in his crib- I might get an extra 30-60 minutes of sleep after that feeding- however, if I hold him and let him fall asleep on me, I can get an extra hour or two of sleep.
The hubby love taking pictures of the baby and me sleeping- and this was from this morning stealing those extra hours of sleep. We didn't get up until almost 8:00am, and it was AWESOME!
What I find hard on my Fridays is that I'm torn between wanting to just be lazy, stay in my pj's, and hanging out with my baby- or cleaning my house, going grocery shopping, and still hanging out with my baby. I have a feeling today will probably end up being a bit of both- which is probably the best way to spend my day as a "stay at home mommy"!
Have a great weekend everyone!
So sweet and so glad you've got this extra time with him!
