I don't think I can do this
I am so sad that I have to go back to work tomorrow. I cannot beleive I have been out since March. I was crying up in Kaelyn's room tonight after I finished feeding her. I am so sad that I will not be able to spend all day with my little girl. I feel like I am going to be missing so much in her life. I am jealous that others will be spending all that time with her. I will only get about 2 hours with her each night when I get home. I so don't want to go back....but I have no choice. I don't kow how I am going to make it through the day tomorrow. I give all you working moms so much credit.
Re: I don't think I can do this
((hugs)) I"m not going to lie, its definately tough to go back to work after having a baby and spending so much time with them. But look at the positives- sending Kaelyn to daycare is a good thing. She'll learn so much and you'll see so many changes in her! You've been so lucky to be home with her for 5 months! Most moms are returning to work and sending their babies to daycare around 6 weeks! Can you imagine!?? It will be good for YOU to go back to work. You will miss your little girl. But each day will get easier, I promise! I hope Kaelyn grows to LOVE daycare. She will meet friends and that will provide so much social interaction for her! Brianna goes to daycare 4 days a week. Somedays I hate dropping her off and saying goodbye to her and other days I"m fine. It helps to have a great provider. One that you can trust, confide in and understand what you are going through. It definately makes the day go by much easier!
GL tomorrow! Let us know how everything goes!
I also wanted to give you a big HUG and let you know that though it will be tough, you will get through it! I cried the first day, and I still cry sometimes!! It is not easy to have to leave your baby with someone else, but I always try to remember that it is good for Jordan to go and interact with kids his age and different people. He loves going to daycare, and the face he makes when he sees me when I pick him up is priceless...Though I don't love having to leave him, like you I have no choice, so I try to make the best of it. Just be in the moment...I focus on work when I am at work (even though I think about him like CRAZY!!), then when I'm home I focus on being his mom!
All will be ok!! Let us know how it goes!!
(((((HUGS))))))
This will be harder on you than on Kaelyn. She will do GREAT! She's in good hands
