We're terribly excited that Martha's mother, Campbell's Nana, will be keeping her each day for us (THANK YOU SO MUCH NANA). However, the thought have having to "drop Campbell off" is a tough idea to fathom and accept.
I know this is a "typical" mommy emotion and experience . . . however it's our Pint Sized Princess . . . our Campbell.
Anyway, I'd love it if you would send Martha a word of encouragement as she returns to work tomorrow.
Thanks so much!

Dear Martha,
I know tomorrow will be a tough day for you. All Mothers dread the day when someone else takes care of their baby. I know you have special concerns and you have been with Campbell every minute of her little life almost. You may not see it now but sometimes being away at work makes you really enjoy your children more when you are at home. You have the perfect babysitter(Nana) so go and enjoy your work because you are good at what you do and other children need you. You will have something special to look forward to at the end of your work day. Julia is 9 years old and I still get excited when it is time to pick her up and I still feel a little pain of sadness when I drop her off at school. Cry if you want to because everyone will totally understand!
I will be praying that your first few days will not be too sad. Campbell is so blessed to have you and Robbie as her parents.
Love
Cousin Susan
Martha,
I know how you feel - I too am so fortunate that my mother in law keeps my boys the 2 days that I work. I find comfort in knowing that I am leaving my children with someone who loves them as unconditionally as I do! I will be thinking about you tomorrow! Good luck & let us know how your first day goes!

Ahh the day you have to return to work...usually a morning of tears but it will be ok. It was very hard for me to go back to work as well, I had almost 5 months with my little boy and I was so thankful for that. When I returned to work I too was lucky enough to have my mom take care of Colton. It is a pretty amazing experience to see the bond that they have formed. Campbell will be in the best of hands with Nana I am sure, as it seems that you have a wonderful family! Each day gets a little easier and when you see how excited she is to see you when you get home, you feel amazing!! Plus hey think of how many more pint size princess outfits you are going to be able to buy with the extra income! LOL :0)
Good luck tomorrow Martha!

Martha,
You are a strong woman, but feel free to break down in tears when you have to leave her the first day- everyone at work will understand why you have mascara smeared on your face. You are blessed to have Campbell's Nana to watch her (that's why I'm still home wihh my baby!- No family close by) Good luck on your first day back and lots of hugs!

It must be tough day for you today Martha. I'm sure you're very emotional to do the first drop off and pick up. But at least, your sweetheart is in good hands! Good Luck and best wishes to you and your family!
