Intro about to return to work

Hi, I'm a Nov13 mom and getting ready to return to work full time in just a week!

I'm glad this board exists as I think I'll be drawing, and offering, more advice and support from you ladies in the near future than the N13 board.

My LO will be just 3 months, starting In home day care M-F, and I'm expecting our days to be very busy with both me and my DH working full time!

I look forward to sharing support, advice and funny stories with you all.

    Thanks, I am an architect, mostly institutional, corporate and retail projects.
    I have to say I'm a little excited to be returning to the workforce and to interact with adults again!
    Of course I'm also sad and scared to be leaving my little girl for so long each day, but I know it's for the best for everyone.

    Hi yes I saw your intro! I'll be thinking of you next week when I go back to work!

    I'm doing a little trial day care visit next week and am really hoping it goes well and will help ease the transition.

    I'm currently letting LO sleep on my chest because I'm trying to soak up all my time left at home - but I also remind myself I will have weekends still.

    Welcome! A few rough days or even weeks are normal but you will get your routine eventually. This is a great place for tips or just general support.

    Welcome!  Going back to work sucks (Sorry.  It does.)  Once you get into a routine though, it does feel good to be working and supporting your family.  It's a lot of work and super hard at time but I know most women on here are really proud to be working moms.  This board is great for support.

    Hey! Thanks for writing, I'm actually retuning tomorrow and I'm getting a little nervous.

    We did our trial 2 hour stay at daycare on Friday and it went really well, she sent me photos of B smiling and napping so I'm feeling good about that- which is huge!

    I'm starting to stress out about my families finances so that's also motivating me to be glad the paycheck swill be starting up again!
    You?
