First time away

For the past two days, I have been in Chicago on business. This is the first time I've been away from Jeremiah over night. People have been asking how I'm doing and I honestly have to say that I've been GREAT!

I think this was a wonderful way to ease in to being away, and he is a good age for being away. I didn't have to leave a little tiny baby and I'm just a car ride away - not a flight away. Additionally, I'm only on business for two nights and I know he is still in the comfort of our home with his dad.

Last night I enjoyed a dinner out, follow by a walk down state street on a beautiful summer night. Then, I took a nice warm shower and snuggled in to bed. This morning I woke up around 6:oo and gleefully rolled back over to sleep for nearly 2 more hours. Jeremiah never sleeps until 8 a.m. I exercised this morning and then headed for a relaxing brunch. Then, I was flung in to work. All in all, it has been nice to fell like I'm off mommy-duty for a few days... but I'm ready to go home to my little man, and my big man too.

Speaking of the big man, I cherish his support and appreciate him caring for Jeremiah this weekend. I also appreciate uncle Matt for helping out. J told me today that he has decided that he wouldn't want to be a single parent. It made me feel good that he acknowledges that there is plenty that we do together that he wouldn't want to have to do.
