You are all so sweet :) I made it out of the house this morning with a few tears, and I'm hoping the day goes fast! I'm armed with my phone full of pics, a framed pic at my station, and a onesie. I don't even care how ridiculous people think I am! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/returning-to-work#post-177748 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 07:41:04 +0000 mamimami 177748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me the anticipation was the worst part! The first day back was sad but also full of reconnecting with people and keeping busy catching up. The first couple of days are the worst, too.... Hope that is your experience as well. Hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/returning-to-work#post-177744 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 07:32:51 +0000 winniebee 177744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jennylynn: No tips, just want to wish you well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/returning-to-work#post-177715 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 05:22:35 +0000 mediagirl 177715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck today, @jennylynn! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/returning-to-work#post-177672 Sun, 03 Jun 2012 23:03:49 +0000 MamaCate 177672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Be gentle with yourself! It sucks and there is no way around that but you are doing what you need to do for your family. Try to ease back into it but do know that when you get busy it will feel more worthwhile to be gone.</p> <p>I went back 3 months ago and it did suck leaving LO but now we are in a good routine and i really like her daycare. I was able to ease back in but it sometimes felt a little too slow, like if i am going to leave my kid, i at least want something to show for my time.<br /> good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/returning-to-work#post-177580 Sun, 03 Jun 2012 19:35:14 +0000 heffalump 177580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hope you have a first good day at work. No advice, just wanted to wish you the best! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/returning-to-work#post-177537 Sun, 03 Jun 2012 17:53:55 +0000 Andrea 177537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first couple days will be hard but hopefully your LO will adjust quickly. DD was happy there by the 3rd day so that made me feel so much better. And then I was so busy at work that every day just flew by. You will be so happy to go pick up your LO at the end of the day! Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/returning-to-work#post-177491 Sun, 03 Jun 2012 15:56:57 +0000 mediagirl 177491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no idea but will be there at some point so I just wanted to send you a big hug!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/returning-to-work#post-177455 Sun, 03 Jun 2012 14:57:09 +0000 jennylynn 177455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My maternity leave is officially over and I go back to work tomorrow. Any tips or advice on how to make it through the first couple of days? I'm fighting back tears just thinking about leaving! :( </p>
