  I start back on Monday. I work from home, but LO doesn't nap well during the day.... so it should be interesting. My plan is to work AND entertain the baby, but if we can't figure out a good schedule, I might have to think about hiring someone to come to my home and help take care of LO a couple days per week.

  I've been back since she was 3 weeks old. It's hard and I miss her tons during the day. And I'm exhausted by the time I get her from daycare, but then she smiles and I know she knows who I am and it makes everything brighter.

  I just went back this past Monday. DH saved his 2 week paternity leave for now so Im not a complete mess just yet. I did get teary eyed leaving the house Monday but I checked in with DH throughout the day and he sent me pictures. I'm a teacher so I'm constantly dealing with students, which distracts me from missing LO. I know I will be a wreck once family members take over though. A couple of coworkers told me its still hard to leave LO every morning.. their babies are about 6 and 8 months old.  I thought it would get easier down the road

  Yeah, I attempted yesterday and resigned by the end of the day.

  I go back in a couple of weeks and am scared that I will do exactly this!

  I was supposed to go back next Monday, but my sub is going to be gone Friday (and I had already planned to come in for a while to work in my classroom) so I am going back in two days!

  Monday was my first day back and my DD is 10 weeks. I actually didn't mind being at work. It was a nice break and makes me even happier to be with her when I'm home.

  Good luck! I hope it isn't too hard for you.

  I go back a week from today. I figured easing back in with a 3 day week might be easier? Plus my district will hopefully give me a 3 day transition with the substitute.

  The first week will be tough, but once I get into a routine I hope it will be easier. It is a little reassuring that LO will be with my mom and my MIL.
