I don't know if I can do it

I go back to work Aug 20 and my brother is going to nanny Kelsey. We are going to do a trial run on Tues so I can be available if he needs me but on his own otherwise. I am freaking out about leaving her!  I wasnt worried or upset at all but I think it's because I wasn't thinking about it. Now I realize I won't get to hug her all day!  I don't want to let him have her Tuesday because my days are so numbered with her. I don't want to do this at all! Why did I get a job for this school year?  It's feeling like a bad idea. :(

    ::hugs::  you can do it mamma!  At least you have someone you truly trust to watch dc.  I really like the daycare that we use, but there is always questions in the back of my head if she gets the attention she needs and if she feels loved by the workers.

    It will be hard but you can do it! I had to go back to work when DD was only 10 weeks. I have been out the last two weeks from gallbladder surgery and got to spend a lot of time with her. I cried more this time when I left her than I did the 1st day I went back to work. Its harder when they are this age because they are more alert :(

    it will be ok...you can do it. it was really hard for me to and i had to go back when DS was only 2 months old =( I felt horrible! but I think it makes it a bit easier (maybe just a little) knowing that family will be taking good care of her. My dad watches DS, and I feel better because I know they will have a great relationship, and I know my dad is awesome with him! It's hard the first few days maybe weeks, but it does get better =) and I just think about the big smile I am going to see each day when I get home from work...and DH and I spend our evenings just playing with DS and weekends I want him all to myself LOL. it works out in the end! good luck =)

    I went back to work at the beginning of May and left Jane with DH.  It was hard, but I kept telling myself that it was only 6 more weeks until summer and then I would have 2 more months with her.  Now I'm looking at going back to work next Thursday and it's harder this time!  I'll be leaving her with a babysitter instead of DH (which is actually a good thing - DH is great with her, but got pretty frustrated taking care of her all day every day by himself.  He expected her to eat, sleep, and be sweet.  He wasn't prepared for the crying!).  She's so much fun now, though.  She's smiling and laughing and learning so very much.  I'm going to miss her so much!

    Aw, I feel ya mommy! It is hard. But she'll be with someone who loves her and I bet you will enjoy the adult interaction you'll get at work. And you'll cherish your evenings together. 

    On Tuesday are you going to be "around" like down the street or in the house? I would recommend against the latter because you'll be too tempted to jump in and rescue her if she gets a little fussy.

    Good luck!

    I'll be available to come to his rescue if he needs me.  I have a meeting with my boss which is very flexible, a dentist appt, and a tentative lunch with a friend.  My SIL is a l&d nurse and she'll be with him that day too.  I'm not worried at all about him.  I'm just going to miss her so so much.

    That's good. You will miss her. :). But it will get easier. Hang in there.
