I can't stop.  I don't want to go.  I want winning lotto numbers.  This isn't natural Mommies should be with their babies.  US mat. leave sucks. That is all.

    Hopefully its a job you love bc it makes it easier. 

    We joked about bringing LO to work and wearing him.

    Good luck.

    I know how you feel--I also go back to work tomorrow, and I'm SO UPSET about it. My SIL was super sweet and sent me a few books about animal babies whose mommies go away and come back by the end of the book.  She wrote in her note that mommies will always come back.  I cried for like 2 hours!  It doesn't help that I hate my job...ugh.  Why can't we live in a country like some in Europe who give moms like 6 months to a year of PAID maternity leave?!

    I agree that maternity leave is much too short here. I hope you and LO have a great day tomorrow with very little tears.  ::hugs::

    I went back this Friday past, it was actually a nice break from 3 months of straight baby.  Believe me, I had a ton of anxiety, but when I walked out the door, I felt some relief.  I'm sure it helps that I love my job (gifted teacher) and that I'm off for another 2 1/2 months on May 30th....and that I am home everyday by 3:15.  Did I mention I love my job???

    I went back last week and couldn't agree more, it sucks.  Yes, I really love my job and I've worked so hard to be where I'm at in my career, but I just want to quit or at least just work part-time (which isn't an option).  I am adjusting some, but it's going to continue to be very hard.  Hang in there, it does get better after the 1st day.

    I know its hard. I cried like a baby when I got in the car, took me 30mins to pull out the parking lot:( But I have to say it gets easier and my days fly by, because I have a reward at the end of the day!

    Today is my first day back too.  The anticipation of it was so much worse than today actually is.  I have been crying daily for the past week, but finally feel ok about it today and only shed a few tears. 

    Hope you're hanging in there!
