What line of work are you in? How come you went back so soon? No maternity?
I shouldn't complain so much I started working from home right when DD was born. But I have to say...First time working from home and first time mommy those first 2 weeks probably months were the hardest since It took me a while to get adjusted and on my own with no family to help since I lived out of state. I am in sales so that was hard to when I just wanted to take care of my daughter! ...But no maternity leave. I'm sure if I needed more time they would have given it to me. I pretty much took my 2 weeks vacation.

With darth vader I was out 8.5 weeks. With yoda, I work from home. I went back at 8 weeks, but kept him home with me 4 days a week. At 4 months he went to daycare full time.
9 1/2 weeks and started up gradually (my first week back was after Memorial Day, so I worked only 3 days) with one 3-day week and a 4-day week before going to FT. Then I reduced my schedule to 80% and only work 4 days a week.
10 weeks. I couldn't have functioned at work earlier than 6 or 8 weeks.

I know my company has a very generous policy compared to a lot of other places.
12 week w/DS paid for with PTO
This time around it will either be 6 or 8 weeks with only 5 paid for with PTO
