The entire weekend before - I was an absolute wreck. We went out to eat with some friends on Saturday night - Craig and I drove separately just in case I needed to leave early and take Hunter home. I sobbed all the way home from the restaurant that night because I knew that the next time I would be driving - I would be leaving Hunter. Then every single time I rocked him on Sunday I was a total mess. I knew Monday wasn't going to be easy.
I got up Monday morning and got ready. Hunter was still asleep and it was almost time for me to go. I was thinking that if he stayed asleep then I wouldn't have too many tears because I wouldn't really have to say goodbye. Welp - that didn't work. He woke up about five minutes before I had to be out the door. I kissed him and the hysterical crying commenced. I bawled all the way to work. I tried to pull it together to go inside. I went to say 'Hi' to Mrs. Adkins on the way to my office and she handed me some flowers and a card from my team and the tears started again. Luckily though, that was the last time I had tears all week!
The week went really well and I owe it all to my Mom. She is an absolute ROCKSTAR! She loves Hunter almost as much as I do and I know that when I leave him, he couldn't be taken any better care of. I called her probably 10 times on Monday, and that number decreased with each day. I think I only checked in once on Friday! He ate fabulously for her and he took naps regularly (he doesn't nap for me). Hunter had grandma exactly where he wanted her! She cooked dinner every evening, packed our lunches, washed bottles, took Bryer out, fed Bryer and she did laundry. I honestly don't even know how to thank her! I'm so glad that I had her here for the first week - Hunter was in amazing hands and that couldn't make me any more happy!
