Not sure if you do intros in this group, but here I am! I am an August '14 FTM, my baby boy was born on 8/21. I had 7 weeks of maternity leave and just started back at work last Thursday. The night before was awful; I tried to read him a bedtime story but couldn't get a word out without sobbing! So far, each day is a little easier, except when our nanny (family friend) told me he laughed for her. I haven't heard him laugh yet, so I was devastated. But then I thought, I don't think he actually laughed. Too early for that! He probably smiled and made a noise, but not real laughter. But still, it reminded me that I will be missing tons, being back at work. I know I am going to miss so many firsts, but I don't want to hear about them so I can pretend what he does with me is the first time he's doing it! I don't want to know what great stuff I am missing. Does that make sense?
Anyway, I am still learning how to navigate this new world of Work / Baby, and look forward to joining in the conversations in this group!
