Sorry if this has been discussed already but anyone else having a hard time returning to work? Thought it would be easier that DD is my second but she is always in the back of my head. I always wonder how DH is handling everything because he is not as patient as I and he admits being rocky at parenting. I told him to try his best and eventually he'll get into the swing of things.
What are you doing for child care as well? How has your transition been?

I also feel feel guilty that I can't be a stay at home mom with him. I feel like the only time we'll have together is right before bedtime and I worry that he won't like me best anymore.
Also, I've found that I have to do a lot the night before (pack my lunch, pick out my outfit, shower) so I can get out the door on time. I recommend waking up super early as you get a routine down. It sucks having to rush with a screaming baby

Good luck mamas!
To be honest, the walls were closing in on me at home ever day. I can't do it. Some people love it but it just made me anxious, sad and lonely.
Now if we could just get the cat on board. She responds to DD2's crying by meowing...
It is definitely an adjustment, and there's no doubt you'll miss baby, but it will be OK! Good luck!
Edit: new phone has no clue what I'm trying to say...
