back to work on Monday - not ready!!!

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months

Been home for 6 months and I'm back to work Monday - can't  believe it went so fast. I'm reallly starting to enjoy my LO and so sad to be leaving him home with my husband.  I'm worried he's going to forget me once I start work :(

From trying on clothes that don't fit for work and having to buy larger sizes, it's very depressing. I wish I could just be a SAHM.

    Aww, it'll be ok and LO won't forget you! Coming home to big smile makes it worthwhile. My advice, plaster your bulletin board with pics of LO. It makes me feel a lot better to look up at her face when I'm missing her or feeling stressed.

    I was dreading it, but once I got back, I really enjoyed being back.  4:00 is still the best part of my day though when I get to go pick him up from the sitter's.  

    You'll be ok!  GL!

    I feel your pain...I start Monday as well.  I've told the boss that I'll be working short days (heading out around 2ish) to help with the transition.

    Don't worry, it'll get better.  On my first day back I was hyperventilating and holding back sobs while backing the car out of the garage.  It's still not easy to leave her in the mornings but every day the pain lessens and I do enjoy the adult contact.  Of course I rush home as fast as I can to hold and kiss her.  She still loves her mommy!

    OMG!  I am always so relieved to have this board.  I have to go back Monday, too and I've been dreading it for the last two weeks...haven't even really enjoyed the holidays b/c going back to work is all I think about.  I hope it gets easier fast b/c I am going to be a wreck on Monday.  I hate that I can't be the main one to take care of LO during the day anymore... ugh.  It breaks my heart!  Crying

    Be thankful you had such a long time at home... many of us returned at 6 or 8 weeks!  And at least LO will be home with your husband, rather than a sitter so you'll know they'll be in good hands.  Don't be afraid to call home and check up on LO.  DD goes to a home daycare and I was afraid she would forget me since it's a woman, but she recognizes me when I pick her up after an 9 hour day so I'm sure your LO will too! 

    Good luck!!
