I know it is hard to leave your LO, but I'm glad that you feel better about it knowing that you are missed in your "other" life too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-made-me-feel-somewhat-better-about-returning-to-work#post-24714 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 18:42:01 +0000 L2sweetpea 24714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: Haha. It's amazing how attached we are to our providers.<br /> As a provider and seeing the kid's regularly I didn't realize how much they missed me when I was gone. It was great seeing a response like that not only because it made me realize how much they appreciate what I provide, but this girl in particular struggles to show emotion so it was a huge stride for her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-made-me-feel-somewhat-better-about-returning-to-work#post-24651 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 17:24:05 +0000 Rubies 24651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt this way when my OB came back to work! My OB began her mat leave when I was 6 months pregnant and I was so sad! She came back in time for my 6-week post-partum appointment and I was SO glad to see her! She had given birth to her fourth child so I'm sure she was ready to come back to work!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-made-me-feel-somewhat-better-about-returning-to-work#post-24629 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 16:58:36 +0000 mrsjyw 24629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awww :) I'm glad that you felt appreciated and hope that you continue to do you wonderful work. It's a nice welcome back to work life! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-made-me-feel-somewhat-better-about-returning-to-work#post-24618 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 16:49:50 +0000 L2sweetpea 24618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So my maternity leave is sadly coming to an end in 2 weeks. I'm having a really hard time accepting this. I had to go into work today and create my schedule so my patient's can get in there before I get back. I was hanging out in my office with a couple coworkers and another coworker came to my door with one of my patients saying she heard my voice. The girl began to cry and told me what a horrible day she had and it made her feel so much better seeing me. I never thought I would get that kind of a response but it truly showed me how much of an impact I have on these kiddo's and while leaving my LO is going to be hard it feels good to know these kid's need me too. </p>
