Well, I can’t put off dealing with it any longer. Supposed to return to work on Thursday 😭

Feeling very emotional about the whole thing and torn in a thousand directions, which I think every mom goes through in some way or another even if they are thrilled to go back.

I know it’ll be emotional. Lucky she gets to stay home with dad for a few weeks before childcare starts.

Ugh it just feels so unnatural. Why is it normal for moms to have to go back so quickly postpartum?

I’ve also heard that the department has really fallen apart without me there, so I know it’s just going to be crazy busy and frustrating trying to get things back together.

Ugh. Not much I can do except to vent it out and try to find peace in the whole situation. Sorry ladies, just wanted to type it out. I’m sure plenty of you have already gone through it/are preparing for it now.
