New Here--Just wanted to introduce myself

Good morning girls!  I'm Sara, work full time in property management, and Lily is 10 weeks old.  She was about 6 weeks early, and I burned most of my maternity leave by being on bedrest for 9 weeks before her early arrival.  I had pre-e that turned into HELLP pretty quick.  Anyway, she spent 13 days in the NICU and is a pretty good little girl.  She is feisty, for sure!!  :-)

My mom flew in from Missouri to stay with us for several weeks because I wasn't ready to send her to daycare.  She will be going within the next few weeks, and I am very nervous about it. 

Looking forward to getting to know you all!

    Hi Sara! Welcome! This board can be rather slow but everyone is very supportive and nice. Sounds like you had quite a journey to motherhood! I am glad everything turned out okay though. Good luck with your return to work. Its nice that your mother can help you out for a bit.

    Welcome! It is a slower board but you will find info that is helpful to you as a WM. Plus if you are having a mom-guilt day (we all do) you don't get the comments 'If you would just choose to stay home'. It helps a lot!

    Welcome, I am glad that you and your DD are both doing well.  I am glad that your mom came to help.  Mom's are the best!  The board is great and we look forward to getting to know you.  One thing that I learned is that the anticpation of your child starting daycare is way worse the actual thing - you will all get into the routine and things will work out.

    Welcome! Like someone already said it is a slower board but very supportive! I found it very helpful since most of my friends do not work so I found it was hard for them to relate to all my pressures as a working mom! It is a nice break in the work day sometimes to check in here especially on a difficult day! Congrats on your little one! I can relate  to the difficult, high risk pregnancy and I am glad everything is wellw ith you and your baby.
