Someone hold me

Tomorrow is my first day back to work after 3.5 months of maternity leave AND it's DS's first day of daycare ever. I need to go find my big girl panties b/c I am just a big ball of emotions. Waah

Re: Someone hold me
Aww no worries, Momma!! He will LOVE daycare once he gets adjusted. :-)
Good luck and have a great first day back!

wow that's a lot of change all at once!
OSC is right - he will love day care!! The first week or two might be rough, but he'll love it eventually! Hugs...hang in there.
My little man at 0-1-2
Big hugs! Hang in there mama!
Once you guys all get into a routine everything will be fine. Good luck tomorrow
Take it one day at a time. It'll get better=)
It is still hard for A for daycare drop offs but he is brand new to daycare and we only go 3 days a week so his adjustment period is taking awhile. Luckily J is so young that he has taken to daycare like a champ. Now..... Both of them have been sick with something or another and building their little immune systems like no other.
*hugs* That's a lot to deal with all at once. The first week or two of daycare may be rough, but I'm confident A will end up loving daycare. DS loves his daycare and hardly notices when I go to leave after dropping him off! He loves his DCPs and his little BFFs and has a lot of fun. Sometimes when we go to pick him up, he's not ready to leave!
(Hug)
Hope you're having a good day!
Thinking of you...hope all went well this morning with drop-off.
Today was the first day back after 2.5 weeks for us, which was tough, so I can relate. He didn't make it easy, crying and begging to stay home.
BFP #2 5/27/12. EDD 2/1/13. m/c and D&C 6/21/12.
Ps... I totally thought you were going to say you were pregnant again!
So my update is that he did ok. MH said he started playing as soon as they got there & MH kinda slipped out while he was playing for a while. I called around noon & they said he was doing well & he was napping. I was relieved to hear that b/c that was my biggest concern.
I picked him up at 5 & I peeked in first & he was sitting on the teacher's lap & a little upset. I could hear him saying, "mommy? daddy?" So that was really sad for me. As soon as he saw me, he ran to me to hug me & stopped crying. He said he had fun & that he wants to go again tomorrow, so that was a relief! The teacher said that the most upset he got was when the teachers switched shifts at 3:30, but at least the first teacher stayed a few minutes to comfort him & explain what was going on.
I forgot to take home his report, but when the teacher showed it to me, I saw it said he ate 100% of his lunch. That's pretty surprising, so I'll have to ask tomorrow about that, lol. I also forgot to ask how long he napped for.
And as far as my work day, I am lucky my supervisor is out on vacation this week, so while she left me a pile of stuff to do, at least I can work on it on my own time, so that is helpful b/c I am really distracted!
I'm glad he had a great day! It sounds like you have a great place, with teachers willing to take the time to comfort and explain to your child. That's really great! :-)
And C always get "I ate it all" at DC while at home he's usually about 50%. They verbally confirm to me too often that he's one of their best eaters so go figure! Yay peer pressure, right?
