Going back to work 4 months PP

Hi all,

I need a word of encouragement. We live in Canada just for reference. I had my baby back in June and was planning to take maternity and parental leave until February then my husband would come off for the rest of the time (1 year total)

We bought a pre construction house about two years ago and closing early next year. Due to the high interest rates and how expensive life has become, we decided I go back to work way earlier and he comes off to care of our baby. His work tops his pay up to full pay, mine doesn’t so I said I’ll go back to work early so we’re not in a bad financial situation moving into the house. I feel so guilty and sad even though my baby will be with my husband, his dad but I feel so down and sad that we have to do this :( please encourage me, what would you do if you were in my shoe?
