Back from maternity leave
Today is my first day back to work after being on maternity leave. I woke up at 4:30 this morning and couldn’t fall back to sleep. Giddy, a little nervous even—when I left the house the sun was shining and it’s the prettiest spring day..why does it feel like the first day back to school? Haha
I’ve been gone for 16 weeks total since my Dr advised me to take the bench the last month before Harrison was born.
This is the longest I’ve ever taken off work (I only took two weeks off with Kate😳) she was in the corner while I came in for a couple clients a day and then I came back full time after a month. (By the way, do not recommend haha) however, for some this is the way or the only option and at the time I didn’t feel the impact.!
So much has changed in me since becoming a mom. I learned with Kate how to be at rest..sometimes that did mean doing less but I learned how to gauge it in my spirit.
Being in growth and striving are two very different things. Being pregnant and having children was a way God was able to kindly show me through the process of both where I needed to shift my heart posture to go to the next level of true growth.
Grateful for each season and how this time going back in, I can feel the difference in my mind and my body. I look at this photo and I’m proud of her.
Also, I have the most incredible family, friends and clients in the world who have sent texts and gifts—ready to take on the world💃🏻
