I go back to work in a week. I feel fortunate that I have been able to take as much leave as I have (they will be 20 weeks when I go back). I just dread going back and don't feel ready to be away from them for so many hours in a day. We have an au pair for child care. I can't help but feel jealous that someone else will get to play and take care of them.

I'm thinking of giving her next Wednesday off so that the babies and I can spend my last day of leave on our own. Any tips for my last week of maternity leave to help ease the transition or to make sure to take advantage of! Is there a piece of advice you wish someone gave you?
