Yesterday Elijah was circumcised at his bris. I cried, and cried. Poor little guy. The tears, the screaming, and the now mangled looking peener. So incredibly rough. Elijah had a tough night and is still on lots of tylenol. The emotions are still too raw for me to going into it further.
But, it was a very nice ceremony. Both babies received their Hebrew names and the Rabbi gave a beautiful explanation of the meaning and significance of the event. Our friends took a lot of pics and I will be sure to post them when we get them.
I think in general my emotions are all over the place, one major reason is that I am going back to work tomorrow. The babies start daycare. I think I am still in denial over all of it and I have been trying to distract myself from thinking about it. When it finally hit me I started sobbing. Poor Hazel was looking at me like 'what is wrong with your face?' Thank god its only part-time this month. But full-time is not too far off.
So, on our last official day together, the babies and I are spending the whole day on the couch. Snuggling in jammies, playing and smiling. There will be no chores done today and no visitors. It will just be the three of us.

I won't lie...its really tough. I hope you have understanding co-workers, that won't judge you if you burst into tears in the middle of the day. As tough as it will be, try to bury yourself in your work.
I heard someone say that once they had to go back to work it was "like Christmas" every time they got to pick up their baby at daycare. Its SO true...it makes you appreciate your time together, my little man has been in daycare for 5 months and I still get SO excited at the end of the day to see him.
I'll be thinking about you tomorrow, its tough but you CAN do it!!
I hope you had a really good last day today. I'll be thinking about you a lot tomorrow. I'll be there in a few weeks, so I really feel for you.
I'll be thinking of you tomorrow!!! The kids will be fine and I'm crossing my fingers the day flies by for you! ;)
I hope you had a wonderful last full day with the kiddos. It must have been soooooo difficult! :( (((HUGS)))
I'm thinking about you today and vividly remember my first day back. The first day was brutal but every day it gets easier...
Soon they will light up when you walk in the door to get them and squeal with delight, kicking their little legs in anticipation of your cuddles.
You will treasure your special time together even more- Just remember-- it really is the quality of the time you spend together not the quantity! Hang in there!!
It would be interesting to hear more about the Bris sometime. Hindu culture doesn't circumcise which is kind of nice. I'm used to the "au natural" look these days ;)
I hope you survived!! I am dreading going back!
