Last Day of maternity leave



There were times in those rough first weeks when I thought this time would never come. That changed to looking forward to her growth and changes and milestones, and dreading the end of our time together. But dreaded or anticipated, days come to pass.

Did you know Canada gives its mothers a full year with their babies? And some Scandanavian countries give two? Why does the U.S. think 3 measly months is enough?

I've been working on some sleep training, using methods in The No Cry Sleep Solution, which is an excellent book. It makes a lot of sense, and I really think it will help. But for this one last day, I'm indulging myself, and letting her sleep on my lap.

And I'm crying.
