Paul is a great stay at home dad

I was MUCH wiser with my second baby. Paul took vacation when I came home instead of when I was in the hospital. Man, it has been great! Noah is one lucky kid. And I've been one lucky mom and wife. Everyday, Noah has got to do fun things with Paul that are very active. Things I haven't done 100% since I was about 7 1/2 months pregnant. Everyday I've gotten a good nap in with the baby. And everyday he's done a load of laundry and kept up with the house.

He's going back to work tomorrow :(

I think Noah's going to be more upset than I am. Paul is so much better at this than me. At least right now while I'm still recovering and taking care of a newborn. I mean how can I compete with the horsey ride?

I so wish we were wealthy enough that neither of us had to work. Ever.

But, as I sit here feeling sad I am reminded about my sister and brother in law, Laurie and Rafe. He's been gone most of Amelia's 2 1/2 years on deployments and training. He's coming home tonight for a 2 week leave and they are so excited. Only for him to leave again for another 6 months. I'm pretty lucky.
