Who is back at work??

How are all the working moms who have returned doing?

This is the end to my first week back and it has been surprisingly easy. I am sad to have to go back, but it was way easier this time then it was when I went back after having DD1.

Oh and I took 6 weeks

LO is 8 weeks & I've not went back yet... I WAS planning to go back at 6 weeks & than I found out my babysitter wouldn't be available til another few weeks & than I'm getting my galbladder removed so it will probably be more like 10 weeks before I can return to work...am I disappointed? Absolutely no! I'm dreading going to work, I'm going to cry cry cry when I have to leave him... if it wasn't for the insurance I'd try my darndest to stay at home...but I gta work!

But luckily I can post pictures at my desk of him...so I'm going to deck my desk of pictures of him!

I took 12 weeks off so I go back to work 2 weeks from Tuesday. I'm dreading it. I thought it would be easier the 2nd time but I don't think it will be.

I'm going back next Tuesday (he'll be 7 weeks)-I also worked a couple of three hour shifts to start to deal with my email and give my husband a chance to give a bottle and me a chance to pump. Husband works a few nights a week (4-9) so we need some afternoon coverage (3-6) and daycare won't start until Sept so I'm going to leave early a few days a week during August. I was on bedrest for a month before little man was born and it feels like forever since I've worked a full day. Tuesday should be fun!

I went back three days last week. It was hard. Yet, once I left her and was at work for a few hours I was "ok." I am a first timer, so I am super paranoid and attached. So far I have come up with every excuse not to go back.... We own our own business, so we have decided only to have someone watch her two days/week and hire someone to take on extra hours at work so one of us can stay home. It was only $3/hour more! Our sitter is family and decided to charge us quite a bit more than we expected, so instead of awkwardness with family about the price, we just decided to hire someone at work!

I'm going back the week after Labor Day, so DS will be about 13 weeks. Luckily, DH is staying home with DS the first week I go back to work, and then he'll start daycare the week after. It'll be tough, but I'm somewhat looking forward to going back and feeling productive again. Don't get me wrong, I love all the time I get to spend with DS and the bonding (not to mention I know BFing will get exponentially more difficult when I go back to work), but I definitely don't get anything done when I'm at home.

I've been back at work for 3 days now, but it doesn't really count because I'm a teacher and we don't actually get kids until Tuesday. But I'm also only part time, so I'm off every day by noon. It sounds horrible, but I think it's actually been good for me to have a break and get to feel productive - I have a lot more patience with the growth-spurt crying because of it.

Baby girl is also being watched by my mom, so that helps a lot - I know she's being loved and cared for very well while I'm away.

I took off 14 weeks... went back 2 weeks ago! DS started daycare today... the grandmas were watching him the past 2 weeks. So far, so good! Daycare has cameras, so I've been spying on him all day

Wow! You must have a really good job if you can afford childcare for five babies.
