Anyone else dreading returning to work?

Lauren

My baby is almost 5 weeks old, and I go back to work in 3 weeks. 😭 I'm absolutely dreading the thought of leaving her, especially that young. 😔 I was lucky to get 8 weeks of leave and even then got it unpaid. I would love to be a stay at home mom or work part time but hubby and I couldn't afford the pay cut. Daycare alone when I return is going to be roughly $800 monthly though, so not a lot to look forward to! 😭 Anyone else feeling down about this too?
