My sweet babies will be 8 weeks on Sunday! How did the time go so fast?!? I head back to work Monday and I am freaking out. Any tips on how to prepare?

    My biggest advice Is ease into it! I started back on Tuesday and went into like I never left. I am a retail manager so I'm on my feet all day. By the day of my shift yesterday, I was walking like I was 9 months pregnant again.

    Following, I go back 7/20, but I'm already dreading it! Where did the time go?

    I honestly don't know how you moms are doing it. I'm Canadian so we (fortunately) get a year off, and then our plan is for me to be a SAHM anyway. I wish you all the best of luck because I know I couldn't do it!!

    I'm with @smashbaby111 I go back 7/20 and I'm dreading it as well!!! I wish everyday that time would go by just a little slower. I've already came to the conclusion that I'm definitely going to cry on that first day back :(

    I'm due to go back on the 18th. When they called the other day, I told them don't bother. Don't know how we're gonna make it, but I need to be home with my little guy.

    I went back to work after 10 weeks with my son. This time I'm staying home. I found the anticipation of going back to work worse than actually doing it. I spent the last day home with him crying my eyes out. It was a little easier than I expected and got a little easier each day. You really do appreciate the time you do get to spend with them even more.

    I agree with previous poster anticipation of going back is worse than actually going back. It's hard to matter what but the routine will be good for you and the socialization be good for baby.

    This. I went back this past Wednesday. I was dreading it but it was OK!! As much as I missed DS, I still had plenty of cuddles in the morning and when I got home. I thought he'd be upset, but he was totally fine- I was the one freaking out!
