I go back to work tomorrow

I'm not ready

My happy thoughts are that my parents and sister are taking turns watching him, so at least he's in very good hands.  Tomorrow is going to be a rough day though.

I go back Wed, not ready either.  I have major anxiety about it

This is exactly how I felt when I went back to work a couple months ago.  I actually spent the last few weeks of maternity leave in complete sadness about returning to work...what I should have been doing is putting all that attention into DD.

I won't lie to you, going back to work was super hard...probably the hardest thing I've ever had to do.  The first couple weeks SUCKED, but then it got better.  By this I mean that I still miss DD to pieces every minute I'm away from her, but I no longer cry for 30 minutes when I leave. 

You'll find that you value your time with LO so much more, and you will also really learn what are and what are not your priorities.  I was so focused and organized before (my desk was never cluttered).  Now, so what if I have stacks of papers to grade and a bunch of memos on my desk...I don't care.  My main concern as soon as the bell rings is to get home to DD. 

It's going to be hard, but it will get easier.

I'm going back tomorrow as well. I only have 9 days left to work before summer break, but it is still ahrd to leave. He will be in good hands with Grandma and Daddy (on his days off).

I'm so sad too.  He is going to daycare for half a day tomorrow for a test run and I'm so nervous.  I just don't want him to cry and I'm worried about his napping.  I go back to work on Wednesday and I'm dreading it.  Everyone says it will be ok but I can't help but worry.
