Babies: 0 - 3 Months

Sick to my stomach

I go back to work in just under 2 weeks and I am sick to my stomach.  I knew it would be hard to go back, but I can't sleep thinking about someone else 'raising him' during the day. 

How am I going to work?  I'll be thinking about his little face all day wishing I could be at home with him.  I am so sad to think of not being with him.  I've been with him (pregnancy and taking care of him) for a year now. 

 I just wish that I could be a SAHM at least for this first year. I know deep down that he will be fine (it is probably me that will have a harder time with it) but I just can't help but think that no one else loves him more than my husband and I (and his grandparents).  I am having so much harder of a time with this than I thought I would.  I don't want the 26th to come.Crying

Re: Sick to my stomach

  • the only thing i can think to say is to try and put these feelings aside untill the 26th. untill then enjoy every second you have with him and dont let these worries ruin it.

  • I felt the same way, and so I quit.  I know not everyone can do that, but it was the best decision I've ever made.  Hope things work out for you.  But the first two weeks are hardest.  It gets easier (I went back for a month).  you'll get into a groove.
  • Aww, im sorry you feel that way.  I am sure it will be hard at first, but you will get back into your teaching groove and the day will fly by and you will get to go pick up your little man and have a great afternoon with him!  Heck if we have a winter anything like last winter, you will have PLENTY of days off with him ;)  LOL   But yes, try to stop thinking about it now and enjoy your two weeks before work comes!!!  HUGS!
  • I totally feel the same way. I go back to work Sept. 14th and get really upset anytime I think about it.

  • I know EXACTLY how you feel!  I had to go back last week.  My baby boy was only 6 weeks old.  It is soooo hard!  I have lots of pics up at my desk.  My DS is staying home with Daddy which is kind of hard, cuz no matter how good he is with him, no one can do things as well as Mommy.  So I talk to DH a few times a day to make sure things are okay.  And I try to keep myself really busy so I dont have time to think about it.  The days are getting a little easier as they go by.  The first week is the HARDEST!  I wish I could be a SAHM!  Hang in there!  And just enjoy the time you have left!  At least your baby will be a little older!

  • Thanks for your kind words, girls.  I know it's not the end of the world and at least I get to keep him :-) but I am playing the lottery in hopes of winning and becoming a SAHM:-)
