Wyatt got here and life as we knew it stopped. It was wonderful (and insane), but it wasn't real life. It was a temporary adjustment period.
Two weeks ago life got a little more back to normal with Ed's return to work. That was indeed different, but Mom was still going strong in this alternate reality.
Dealing with Mom stuff:
And going on adventures with Wyatt:
Yesterday, however, the alternate reality we enjoyed for 10 weeks came to an official end. We are both back at work now and life is the general shape and size of what it will look like for the next couple of years.
We are extremely fortunate to have some amazing support from a couple of amazing people.
Robyn is going to be here with Wyatt two days a week:
Then Debby is going to be here the other two days a week:
Those of you proficient in math may notice that we only have 4 days of coverage for this little guy. That's where this permanent situation really shines. For the next year or two Carrie is going to drop back to 4 day work weeks and have every Friday off.
So even though our new normal has officially taken effect, it's a pretty sweet normal. We get to see our moms all the time and our moms get to be an integral part of Wyatt's early childhood. That's a helluva new normal even without the three day weekend every weekend kicker.

Well, speaking for all of the family . . . but I think especially for Debby and for me . . . we are SO happy to have this little guy in our life in a very big way. It's a dream come true, to be honest, and it's going to be such fun to see him grow and change AND to see Owen and Wyatt grow together as brothers. Owen's going to have a blast seeing him begin to toddle all around, then walk and then run! Your very kind words are appreciated, love you all :0) Great pic of Carrie, btw!
