It took a while to get up and running again and I honestly think it made those first days more painful. It was easier to get the hang of pumping etc. though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-year-ago-today-1#post-581223 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 21:31:56 +0000 doodlepoodle 581223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A year?! Time really does fly by. I'm at 6.5 months back at work and it's hard to believe! Every day you just work hard and fast to get it over with, huh? :) I swear I worked harder in my first 2 weeks back than ever just so I could make the days go fast! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-year-ago-today-1#post-581213 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 21:28:40 +0000 prettylizy 581213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for this. I go back in 3 weeks and it's really been weighing on me a lot lately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-year-ago-today-1#post-581208 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 21:25:14 +0000 MamaCate 581208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Was my first day back at work after maternity leave! It is hard to believe it has already been a year, as I still remember how hard it was to leave LO and how surreal it was to be back at work so clearly.</p> <p>I just wanted to mark the occasion and to offer encouragement to those transitioning or getting ready to transition. It feels totally overwhelming at first but I was eventually able to get back in the groove at work and find a new normal with daycare and everything else. I work FT and have a busy husband but we are making it work little by little! </p>
