Thursday is MY D-day!!!

Yup after 7 months of being home with G, I have to go back to work.....Ugghhhh this sucks big time!!!! Thankfully DH will be home with her on Fridays and Mondays, and my inlaws have her Tues, Wed and Thursday....but still it is not me....and she is USE to me!!!! Will the Gparents do all the things I do with her? Will she nap and eat for them? Will she have fun with them??? I know I am so lucky I was able to be home for 7 months, but maybe that makes it harder??? I know I am lucky to have family watch her, trust me I know......but it is still not making this any easier for me....We are going to the inlaws today to bring over her P&P, her toys, bottles, waters, blankets, food etc....I am trying to hold back the tears....Crying

  • Oh gosh, I know this must be sooo hard.  You ask all the same questions that I've thought about.  Just know that she is in good hands with people that love her.  She'll do fine.  You'll do great too!

  • *Hugs* You will both do fine!
    Anniversary
  • Hugs- you can do it! She will be fine. It will take some adjustment on both parts but I'm sure she is going to have a great time with her grandparents.
  • First, I love the new siggy pic!

    ((( Hugs! ))) I hope that the transition isn't too terrible for you. If it helps, it was much easier for me than I expected it to be.  Granted, I was only home for 3 months, but I really thought it would be awful and it isn't that bad.  I'm sure that having C with family makes all the difference.  Hopefully it will be the same for you.

  • Lots of hugs!!  I know you can do it :)

  • There will be lots of tears, but after you get through 2 days of work, you will have the whole weekend. Try to just focus on getting to Friday afternoon. It sucks, but it will get easier, I promise. Your inlaws will take great care of her. You will both go through an adjustment, but it will be so much better knowing she is in good hands. Enjoy every second of these next few days!
  • Mel, both you and Ghianna are going to do fine.  It is probably going to be harder from mommy than it is for baby. HUGS!

  • Oh Mel!!!!  I'm so sorry you have to go back already Sad   You're going to do great, and so is Gianna, just be strong, girly!! We all got your back!  Major hugs and love to both of you!
  • Thinking about it and knowing it is about to happen is worse than the actual thing.  Although, it still SUCKS.

    While I'm not returning to work for the first time it is A-man's first birthday and I have been dreading it, probably just as long as you have been dreading going back to work.

    Lots of HUGE hugs.  While it doesn't help now, it does get better, but those first few days are hard.  And every once and a while you will be happy to have a little part of you back...life before being a mommy.  But many times you will just want to stay with your little girl and not miss one second of her life.

    It's hard, it's good, but it also really really sucks on some days.  But you are a strong woman, and just like most of us working moms on the board we have been through it and deal with it every day.  If you need us, you know where we are!  xoxo
