How hard was it for you?

I go back to work on Tuesday for the first time since LO was born.  I know it's going to be hard...how hard was it for you?  I teach, so at least I know that I have the summer with her and thats what will get me through (and Spring break), but I hate the idea of not being with her all day!  She just started smiling a lot today and really seems to be getting a real little personality...just when I have to go back to work!!  Will she remember me when I get home from my 8 hour days?  Will she still smile at me and turn when she hears my voice?

    The worst part is the first few hours. I couldn't stop crying the whole way to work, and kept getting teary eyed at my desk. It gets better as the day goes on. 

    I was so scared DS wouldn't remember me either, but he still smiles when I talk to him, and loves to be held when I come home.

    It's hard, but you'll make it!! Good luck!

    The anticipation was a lot worse than the reality (this will be my third week back).  Honestly, I was starting to get a little antsy at home and it's been nice to be around other grown-ups.  I think I appreciate him more at the end of the day now, and yes, he still smiles at me all the time.

    I grew up with a single mom that worked full-time, so I was at the sitter's from the time I was 6 weeks old.  I spent a lot of time with my sitter and loved her, but she was never my mom.  No one will ever replace you.
