I guess the adrenaline of my first week back is starting to fade away (I started back to work full time last week).
I miss her like CRAZY today.

@Bao: Yup! But they are so jammed with other people wanting to see her that it feels just like the work week

@highwire: I'm sorry doll! I felt pretty numb the first week I went back, and so so depressed after that! If you need to, just take some *family* time for you, your DH, and your LO over the weekend. It really really helps!
And people don't have to understand . . . they just need to respect your decisions. (((Hugs)))

I use to watch videos on my phone of DD while I was at work, that helped. Well shoot, when they (I now have DS as well as DD) are taking naps (I'm a SAHM now) I watch videos of them! hahaha

Hang in there, not that it helps but I've been back for almost 4 months (3 years for DD) and still have days like that

hang in there! Overall, I am SO HAPPY to be a working mama but there are definitely days I am blue and miss her like mad. Like a pp said, taking a little break to watch videos of LO or look at pictures of her does help.

@highwire: It drives my MIL crazy that I *hoard* LO on the weekends. She'll get over it . . . or she won't . . . but it won't change what I do on the weekends! She never had to leave her babes, so there is no way she can even begin to understand . . . *imagining* leaving your baby is not the same as having to do it!
