Anyone else back to work yet?

SecondTimeinMSU

It is starting to be that time. I am part time this week since it's been 6 weeks and my work isn't the most flexible (no paid maternity leave and too small for at least FMLA). DH is taking a few days off so we can stretch starting daycare and I'll be full time next week. It seems weird being back to work. Anyone want to share anxieties, dread, excitement?

I am doing ok since I could really use the break from two kids at home (especially with DS #1 struggling still to adjust). It helps that I know he is just home with DH. I have some anxiety about daycare. He'll go to the same center with the same teachers I had with our first son and loved so that really helps but when I visited last week there was this one baby crawling over everything with snot running of his nose. I think I forgot how miserable the first year of illness was since we've made it through it with DS #1 and now he so rarely gets sick. Trying not to feel guilty of thinking of my little baby getting sick soon =(

Mid September, but have no idea what we will do with her then. All daycares are waitlisted. Sigh.

I don't go back tell September and I work nights. So my SO will have to take over on night feedings and I'm with her all day. So shall see how much sleep I can accomplish.

I go back in 19 days and I'm dreading it! It's only 3 days a week but the trade off is that they are 12 hour shifts. It's going to be hard leaving her for 12 hours.

I'm going back on the 7th. I'm interviewing nannies tomorrow. The thought of leaving my tiny 6 week old newborn with a stranger in my house for 6 hours is killing me. I hope I connect with someone quickly

I didn't see this thread earlier and I was posting about it in a few others.
I go back August 4th and I'm dreading it. Granted, my husband will be staying home with LO, I will miss him SO much. Does it get easier?
