Ugh. I think the hardest part is relinquishing control! Lo does not eat a lot and I'm afraid we won't eat well whirl I'm gone. 
My dad will be with him all week and he's used to watching grand kids, but still...
And how am I going to work on less sleep? I get decent sleep for a newish mom, but nothing like I used to. Teaching 150 kids a day is exhausting itself!
Wish me luck.

Good luck! And in our case my LO always wants to eat MORE when she's away from me (eating gives them comfort which they want in an unfamiliar situation) so maybe that will be the case for your little guy!

Good luck! My son was never a piggy eater until he started daycare around 5.5 months - I was very nervous about him eating at daycar but he did great! I hope it's the same for you!

Good luck! I will echo the other posters, my son eats so much more/better variety in day care than he ever did at home, it's the peer pressure!
It will take you a couple of weeks to find your groove, in the meantime try not to stress too much about the piles of laundry!

Good luck! I went back last week and while it was tough -- leaving LO at daycare, worrying whether he'd get enough sleep or take a bottle, or be more neglected in a class of 8 kids rather than having DH and my undivided attention all day, not to mention having to function on less sleep! -- once we got through the first week I felt much more capable. We have a good little routine down already, which makes me feel more comfortable, and seeing how well he's doing at daycare and how much his teachers love him has helped a lot, too.
I bet you will do better than you think on less sleep, it's been hard for me sitting at a desk all day but it sounds like you stay active enough to be able to push through! You might just crash in the evening for a couple of weeks

@looch: I was not good about laundry evn before! 
Thanks for telling me so many of your lo's ate more. That would be awesome and sad at the same time :).
He still gets to be home this week then at my mom's next week so he shouldn't be in too scary of a situation.
(I'm doing my morning pump, just fed him, then need to be out the door by 6:40!)

Hopefully the day will fly by, and you'll have him in arms before you know it!
Sending lots of encouraging thoughts your way today

So far, so good, although I'm exhausted! My dad was supposed to relieve dh at 10, but was stuck in rainy traffic and so dh had a coworker watch him (someone I know) until my dad got there.
Not the plan!
