Happy Back to Work Present

As many of you know, going back to work was a debate in my mind (and others) for many moon! I was constantly going back and forth on what I want, what would be best for our little family and what I would feel good about doing. Around week 5 of my maternity leave I called and informed them that 6 weeks is simply WAY too soon and that I would be back after my 13 weeks were up. They were very nice about it and I continued to stew.

The main reason I wasn't sure if I wanted to go back was Jameson. He had been going to school full time, working 5 graves a week, working on grad school applications and adapting to being a new father. The last thing I wanted him to do was be up 7 nights a week when 2 of them could be avoided. After much debate and prayer we decided to send me back to work. I loved being there so much and it felt more like an all nighter girls night than actual work.

Not to mention... Chloe slept the first two nights I went back. So it seemed SO do-able.

To celebrate my first paycheck we did what I have been wanting to do for months. I had been going back and forth about it and told Jameson several times I want it, but that it was too expensive. Finally, my broken back won me out and we set out to buy this bad boy:


It is the ultimate sleeping chair as you just observed.
Chloe's favorite rocker (other than her Daddy of course)!


But most importantly, it is my new breastfeeding/rocking/sleeping/back loving/movie watching/ Becky has gone back to work and deserves this chair present!

It is probably Jameson's and my new favorite house item. It is comfy but supportive. Cool when you first down and warms to your perfect temperature. Easy to clean (hallelujah).

It was the perfect way to spend my first paycheck. Thank you Jameson for supporting me in going back to the job I love, being willing to learn how to get up with Chloe and feed her with a bottle and loving me enough to find spending an unexpected amount of money on me :) You are my love of this life and the next!
