Back to work tomorrow

  MIL is staying with us for 2 months to take care of DS (she lives out of state).  She flew in yesterday, and then it hit me that my time with DS was over.  It's been a memorable 10 weeks home with DS, and I'm hoping I'll have an easy transition into being a working mom.

Any tips on staying connected with LO during the day while I'm at work?  If I'm not busy at work, I can run home during my lunch break some days.

I have been back to work 3 wks this Wed and I cried the first week every morning. I have pictures everywhere in my ofc which helps & 3 days a week I go see her on my lunch break and that helps A LOT!!

Good luck to you!!

The first day you might as well plan on being a waste.  I cried the whole time on and off and had to go see him at my mom's for lunch.  It does get a lil easier with time.  I had to come back 6w pp so I have been back awhile.  I still miss him like crazy but my babysitter sends me pics all day long so that is nice.  GL!!!!

I went back last week. The anticipation was the worse part for me. I cried a lot the last week home. Once I actually started working, it wasn't bad at all. I kind of enjoy my time away as crazy as that sounds.

My DH is home with DS, so he sends me text updates and pictures throughout the day. I live work close to home, but I choose not to go home for lunch. I'd rather just not take a lunch and get home sooner!

Good luck!

I also feel like the anticipation was much worse. I cried every day my last week. I cried when I got back into the car after dropping her off at daycare but that was it. It helps (in some ways, in some ways it's worse) that I'm in a new position at my same school so I know everyone but I'm really busy learning the new job. She goes to daycare 3 days/week and my aunt 2 days/wk and my aunt sends texts and pictures throughout the day so that really helps, maybe your MIL could do that for you.
