Blindsided by my own emotions!

I am sitting here crying about going back to work Monday. I really thought I was ok with this! Have even been looking forward to it....and now that its in sight I'm a mess.

This sucks and it doesn't help that LO had a rough day....so naturally all I can think about is that happening again and me not being with her.

Ugh.

I dont go back for another week and I have been crying for weeks. I love my job nor ever wanted to be a SAHM, but I desperately don't want to leave her day after day... I know it'll get easier just wish she was a little older... I feel your pain momma, hang in there

Just think of it as you being able to get a check now to buy her more fun things!

It will get better as time goes on, but I don't think that feeling ever goes away. Just wait until she smiles at you after work, you will melt even more. Do you have a way to keep in contact of the person watching her during your work hours?

Skype is also free, this is how I communicate with my husband while I am out here with my family.

When I read your post title, all I could think of is this.

 

But really, it'll be okay! Of course you'll miss her, but its nice to get dressed and go to work and talk to adults.....and then come home for baby snuggles.

It is another huge change to go back to work, just when you feel like you had a good routine established with your LO. But it will be ok good luck and try to relax and enjoy your weekend with the baby!
