My last day at home before going back to work

[PrincessMomof2]

HUGS to you.

You will make it and every day will get a little better.

I just recently went back to work myself after having a little girl on March 29th. I am lucky to only have to work 3 days a week and one of these days my husband is home with our newborn and my 5 year old girl.

It is hard to go back to work, but just take extra specail care of the time you do have together. Call offen durring the day to help you feel better that your son is OK.

I am here if you need someone to PM or talk to. Hope is goes well.

I went through this 3 times. DD#1 was almost 6 months old and DD#2 was 4 1/2 months old (I had them in spring and went back after summer vacation). DS was almost 5 months old (had him in June and stayed out 1st quarter). I know what helped me was the other moms on the staff, young or old, all stopped to see how baby was doing and how they remembered how hard it was. It also helped me that I know I have summers and holidays off, and that DH gets them ready in the morning and then I pick them up.
One thing I do EVERY DAY I leave for work is kiss everybody whether they are asleep or not--I have never missed one morning kissing the kids or DH, since I have to leave by 7 and usually everyone is asleep. I don't know how long this will work with DD#1 (10) but when she leaves before me someday in HS I'll be grabbing her to give her a kiss anyhow!
