I know I'm not the first one to cry about going back...

...But I'm so devastated. Today is my "test run" at day care; I took DD in at about 8am and I'm planning to pick her up at 1pm, then I go back to work full-time tomorrow. I met the teachers and spent a little time with them; they seem nice and they definitely hug and hold the babies the best that they can between the two of them. But they aren't ME. There's no way that they could possibly show my little one the love that I have for her. Sigh. I'm crying even writing this.

Anybody else missing their babies like crazy today?

    I had to call daycare the other day to set up an appt to fill out all her paperwork. After I hung up the phone with them, I picked up LO and just held her and cried. I go back to work Feb 6th. It's going to be the worst day ever.

    I promise it gets better.  With DD#1 I was a miserable mess at first but she wound up doing awesome at daycare.  We made some great friends with other families and I would trust our provider with LO as much as I would trust my own mother. 

    I hope you find your situations to be just as good.  Just remember it is much worse for you than for LO.  They will have fun!

    Today is our first test run too. I am going in for a half day this afternoon to prep for my return next week (I'm a teacher). I have been on the verge of crying since last night. This has definitely hit me harder than what I thought. Next week will be tough.

    I don't go back to work until Feb 20th but I cried myself to sleep last night just thinking about it.  My husband was like..."it's ok honey.  The daycare person we chose is awesome and she's so caring.  She'll take great care of LO."  My response was, "But she's not ME!"  I'm just picturing my little guy crying for his mommy all day and it's breaking my heart.  :(

    I've been taking my LO to her in home care lady for the last two weeks just a day here and there. I think this has made it way easy for me! That way Monday will not be so damn hard! When I drop him off I stay for about 10 min being a mom and telling her what is what! I'm sure she is sick of me and feels like she's been babysitting me too. Ha I hope I don't cry next week, I teach and my kids will freak!

    I can completely relate! I just feel like the daycare providers won't do it exactly like it do and that my son is going to be looking around for me all day. I go back Feb. 13th and am already a mess!  Staying home is completely out of the question for me. I'm a teacher and have visions of me crying in front of my students.  Just know that we are all with you and feel for you!!!  Good Luck!

    i know how you feel.  i cried so hard i couldn't breathe.  it was awful.  the best thing i can tell you is it DID get easier, and that it's probably much harder on us than on them.  GL- my prayers are with you!

    I went back Tuesday and she was asleep when I got home! I actually couldn't wait for her 3 am feeding just to squeeze her. Today was hard too because it was 9-6 and I was supposed to have a meeting until 8. Unman, I totally skipped out on it. I was crying all the way to pick her up! I hate this!

    I'm crying right now from reading this thread. I start back this or next Tuesday. DS will be with SO's Mom for 2-3 days and SO the other days.

    I go back on Feb 6th and I am dreading it! Although.. my hubby will be with him Mon-Thursday so he will only have one day of daycare and then it is the weekend. I am a nervous wreck about it but I know the place we picked is great. I just feel bad that I won't see him that much!
