Last few weeks

I am a planner/worrier and I am really getting into a bad place as I think about how many days I have left.  We spent the whole weekend cooking to restock the freezer, I've been trying to figure out my schedule, etc. and it is making me so sad that I feel like I'm not going to enjoy these last and very precious few weeks.  I know I just need to let it go and realize it will be horrible for a while and then it will get better, but right now I'm second guessing my childcare, worried about pumping and stressed about DD not having a better schedule yet.  And then there is the stress of my actual job and whether I can really do it and be a mom (I previously worked 50+ hours/week and I don't want to do that).   

Does anyone have an encouraging story to share about how they handled going back and the days leading up to it?

Re: Last few weeks

  • No advice, but I am in the same place.  I have 9 days left and I want to enjoy every single one.  Unfortunately DD was a total crab today so I had to enjoy her crabbiness because in a few weeks someone else will get to take care of her. 

    On a side note, we also spent a good part of the weekend restocking the freezer!  I am going to make a meal plan for the first few weeks back and I do not intend to diviate from it.  I am going to start with crockpot meals.

    Hallelujah, it's a miracle, I have children AND a signature!
