I keep hearing that this is just a phase- but HOLY GEEZ! I was priding myself that I had a son who would go to anyone. He was always happy to go into the nursery at church, see babysitters and play at Mothers Day Out. But I swear overnight he has become clingy- no CLINGY! He screams bloody murder and can not be consoled. I simply don't know what to do with this seperation anxiety. I am trying to not give it much attention and leave quickly but its tough. Honestly I know he will be fine- I feel worse for the workers who have to be with him. The sweet girl that babysit last weekend had to text me every 20 minutes because nothing worked.
On a happier note, Ethan has LOVED moving into his new room. The old nursery looks sad and has become a catch all for the "things that we will deal with before the baby comes!"... that pile keeps adding up for sure!
Mom, dad, Jeff and Lauren came over to help move all the furniture, organize and put the curtains up. I LOVE IT. Its sweet and so much more room for him to play in. This room has been Jake's since we moved into the house, and Jake hasn't left. So we call it Jake and Ethan's room... which neither minds.
Right now I am working on continuing to adjust to stay at home mommy-hood. It's been tougher than I thought. Honestly I thought it would be so easy and fun. With my responsibilities left at church I honestly have A LOT Of spare time to just be with Ethan. And with only 1 nap in the morning we are home chilling A LOT! I don't know if I am simply not use to it, or if this isn't where God wants me right now. But I am certainly learning how to find my value and selfworth in something other than my career. God is teaching me that my self worth needs to come FROM HIM and not necessarily what I do FOR HIM. Seems I have likely try to teach someone else this lesson- but never got it for myself.
