One of the first things was I discovered I could finish a cup of coffee before it got cold. This was fascinating! I forgot what that was like in the short 7 weeks I was home with him.<br /> Or ordering lunch with coworkers, sure I couldn't do it all the time but it was nice to order food instead of throw together whatever I could at home.<br /> Obviously SAHMs accomplish a ton in their days at home, but I truly felt like superwoman that I could, keep a house, feed, dress and bathe a child, pump bm for him at the office twice a day and finish projects and meet deadlines all in a week's work - and look somewhat put together (clean, makeup, professional dress) doing it. Sweet ego boost. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-deal-with-missing-your-baby-while-at-work#post-466686 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 15:13:23 +0000 brownie 466686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go an visit during the day. It makes the 4 or 5 hours much easier to handle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-deal-with-missing-your-baby-while-at-work#post-466618 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 14:31:12 +0000 autumnlove 466618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lots and lots of pictures and videos. I also make DH send me pics of her in the morning before she goes to daycare! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-deal-with-missing-your-baby-while-at-work#post-466613 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 14:29:45 +0000 mrs. wagon 466613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I obviously didn't have this problem with Wagon Jr. since I was a SAHM for 18 months. But this time around I absolutely ACHE with longing for my baby girl. I know I'm a better mom as a working mom and I totally enjoy my life as it is, but every now and then (about once or twice a day) I just want to say "to hell with it all" and go home and snuggle my baby girl before she grows up too fast!!</p> <p>I usually watch a video or two of her. I also have my favorite picture of her on my desktop. That usually gives me enough juice to get me through the rest of my day. We have all of our pics and videos that we take on our phones upload immediately to dropbox, so I like to browse through the most recent pics and videos of her. </p>
