One week from tomorrow, June 1st, I will be going back to work. The last day I worked was Friday November 20th. I was on bedrest for 11 weeks and on maternity leave for 16 weeks. I am so fortunate to have been able to spend the first 4 months of Bishop's life with him. He is an incredible baby boy, who is so happy! I am so incredibly sad thinking about leaving him at daycare all day!! It will be quite the adjustment, especially since I haven't worked in so long. I know it will be harder on me than him. We visited his daycare tonight and it made everything so real.
Not only am I dreading going back to work, but I have to go to New Jersey for two weeks in June and it breaks my heart to think about being away for 2 weeks! Hopefully Luke will be able to bring Bishop out for a long weekend to break up the time for me.
I know I will adjust and everything will be ok. I also believe that anticipation is harder than reality (at least I hope so)! I have had an incredible maternity leave--Bishop and I have been able to do so many fun things and see so many wonderful friends!
Oh Carla, I will be thinking about you when you go back. It will be hard the first couple days, but it gets easier after you realize he's OK and you just try to make up for it when you get to see him in the evenings and the weekends. Good luck! You sound so happy, and I'm happy for you.
