Not sure I can do this...

Alicia

My maternity leave is over and I have to go back to work Monday. To say I am absolutely FREAKING OUT is an understatement. I can't handle the thought of leaving my beautiful little baby girl. She's going to a wonderful daycare that I trust. I've spent a ton of time trying to figure out how to be a SAHM, but it just doesn't work for us financially. I'm afraid I'm going to lose it so bad on Monday I won't make it into work. I am so bothered by the fact that I will only get to see her a couple hours a day due to our commute. I'm just not ready to let her go. Somebody please tell me it's not as bad as I think it is. I already miss her so much.

UPDATE:

It's been two weeks since I went back to work. That first day was one of the hardest days of my life and I struggled to keep it together all day. I cried every day I left her that first week. It's getting just a little easier each day, but I still miss my sweet baby so much. But she's doing so well there and they adore her. And she usually gives me a big smile as soon as she sees me, which makes me super happy. Maybe we'll get through this after all. 😊 Thank you ladies for your support! It always helps to know you're not alone.
