I see that Emma is almost 12 weeks already! Are you close to going back to work? How are you doing?

    12 more days...AHHHHHHH. I don't think it's sunk in yet. I mentioned in a post below that I actually think the first week or two will be kind of refreshing. It will be a nice change of pace to actually get dressed up in nice professional clothes, go into the office, earn a paycheck, etc. I love being with the baby and I really would be a SAHM if I could, but it does get exhausting after a while and I think going to work will be somewhat of a break. I am just worried about when the novelty of going back to work wears off...that's when I think I'll really start missing her and wishing that I could stay home :(

    Oh well...despite all my misgivings, I know me working is definitely what's best for our family and for Emma, so it's the right thing to do. I keep telling myself that the anticipation of it is worse than the reality. Working is a part of life and I will just have to get used to it and learn to make the best of the time I do have with Emma in the afternoons/evenings and on the weekends :)

    The anticipation is waaaaay worse than the actual thing. I was driving myself crazy over how worried/nervous I was getting about coming back to work. With that said, I'm now leaving work to stay home with her. As long as you know that you're doing what's best for Emma, that's all that matters. Plus, you do learn to appreciate the time you do have with her that much more. Good luck!!

    Awww, well I can say that from my perspective the anticipation was so torturous compared to actually having to drop Sophie off at daycare. I will admit I cried a lot that first day. And 5 o'clock could not come quick enough. But still...she was happy at daycare and I was happy at work and to be working and around adults. Which is a nice feeling since...I need to work. I cannot stay home. We need my income.

    Just definitely soak up the time you do get with her. It will be tough in the beginning when she wants to go to sleep and you have only been home with her a few hours but eventually you will get into a routine that works for all of you...and weekends ROCK. :)
