AW ...back to work

benniferbaby

I'm so sad that I have to go back to work tomorrow. I mean I'm kind of looking forward to socializing, and waking/eating at normal hours (and hot food will actually be hot!), but I am going to miss that little boy. He's just starting to interact with smiles and coos and I finally feel like I'm STARTING to get the hang of motherhood.

He'll be with grandma and grandpa all day so I know he's in excellent hands but I can't help being sad to leave my little squish.

Boohoo, sob with me please!

:-( at least he'll be with family...

It's tough but it's great getting back to talking to adults. I always joke I want to do maternity leave backwards. Go back to work right away then after 12 weeks then start maternity leave to enjoy the interaction. Good luck!

I feel your pain.  The first week will be hard, but it does get better! Good luck!

Good luck today.  The first few days are the hardest, but it does get easier.

I was in exactly the same situation. Went back to work after 6 weeks, and DS was taken care of by my parents. We did fine:) It is hard, the first week, but then I even appreciated the "freedom".

I said this to my boss today, nearly verbatim!
