daycare pre-enrollment meeting tomorrow - waahhh

Tomorrow's our meeting with the daycare that our daughter will be going to. She starts in a month :(

I know that by American standards, I am so lucky to have a total of 14 weeks off, but it doesn't feel like enough! I never expected to feel this way. I like working and have never pictured myself as being a SAHM. I also never thought I'd have any problem leaving my daughter at daycare- my husband works at a university and she's going to their private daycare. His coworkers who have kids there say wonderful things about it, and it is in a really beautiful new building that we joke is like a day spa for babies.

 But now that she's here, none of them matters and I just don't want to be away from her! :( I hope I don't burst into tears tomorrow. My husband just informed me that he'll be out of town on her first day so I'll have to take her myself - I'm sure I will burst into tears when that happens.

 Those of you preparing to go back to work soon- how are you handling it?

    This is my last week off.  :(  I was planning on taking her for a few half days this week---before I had her---and now I am just doing one because I want to spend time with her.  On Thurs I took her to meet the director and do last minute paperwork.  I didn't leave her there and fought back tears all of the way home.  I figured that when she goes for the half day on Friday I can cry at home instead of dealing with all of that next week with work on top of it.   UGH.  I wish I could be a SAHM.

    I went back 2 weeks ago and can sympathize with doing it alone.  My H just got back from a business trip and I did the first 2 weeks of daycare by myself.  I thought I would cry but I didn't.  It would have been nice to talk to my H about it but he was gone :(

    I cried (i.e. sobbed) throughout the whole meet the teacher, day care orientation for DD1. I embarrassed myself and my H. It was incredibly hard to go back to work at first. Everyone told me it would get easier, but I just didn't see how it could. It does get easier. Hang in there!

    I have a couple weeks left and am so tense even thinking about it.  I started to cry last night when DH mentioned it.  Never thought I could feel so attached to someone that the thought of being away during the day makes my stomach hurt.  I think we all have a rough couple days ahead, but then hopefully it will get better!  Good Luck!

    Im sure the daycare workers are used to seeing sobbing mommas.  DH already said he would take her on the first day so I wouldn't have to.  Our daycare is really nice so I feel good about taking her there, but I visited another place that I didn't like so much and nearly started crying during the tour at the thought of leaving her there.
