Eight months is nearly over
Eight months ago Shona finished her last term of school before becoming a mummy. Sophie is now over 6 months old and it is fast approaching the time for mummy to go back to school. Sophie will be staying with her grandma and grandpa during the day. This new stage in our lives starts next week, and we are not looking forward to it.
I work at home and it has been amazing to have them both here all the time. I wouldn’t have missed it for the world and I know a lot of daddies don’t get the opportunity to spend as much time with their kid at such an early age. I have been very fortunate. We have had a lot of laughs!
I am going to miss them both so much throughout the day. We have had so much fun! The house is going to be so quiet and empty and the first few days will be hard, I’m sure. I really feel for Shona especially. It will be so tough on her to leave Sophie and go work all day when she has been used to spending nearly every minute with her.
But I guess this is only the first little step in ‘letting go’. There will be many more times along this journey where we will have to let Sophie go. This is the first and I am not looking forward to it…

Aw I’m sorry! I bet it has come up on you too quickly! I think of when Steve may have to be in an office again and I can’t imagine how different it will be after being together at home nearly all of Max’s life. Maybe we’ll just have to make sure he keeps a job where he can work at home!!!
Good luck to Shona as she starts back at work, I’m sure it will be very tiring at first getting back into the swing of things.
