I go back to work. 
I'm up at 3:45 to be at work at 8:00. I guess that's the new reality. Haha! I'm nursing my baby and just loving on him. I'll only be at work for 4 hours today but it's the start of us being apart for the first time. I don't feel weepy yet...I hope it doesn't hit all at once!
Send me some good vibes today. I'm just kinda bummed.

Good luck!! It'd okay to cry too, and it does get somewhat easier. I cried tons on day two... Day one was fun, day two agony and resent,

The first two days were really hard, but it got easier. You can do it! Only 4 hours until your tack with your babe.

I hope you enjoy those four hours! Have some coffee in peace, enjoy breakfast....enjoy the restroom in quiet. Take pleasure in the little things and you'll be home before you know it! Good luck!

Have a great day! I went back to work a few weeks ago. It wasn't as bad as I imagined. I am enjoying working and love the smiles I get from DD when I walk in the door.

It's so hard, but think of how incredibly happy you'll be when you see him at the end of the day! The best feeling!!

Thinking of you!! You won't want to stop squeezing and loving on him when you get home. The first week was tough for me.

Good luck! There's no two ways about it - it's hard. You'll get through it, though, and be over the moon when you see your LO after work.

good luck! try to enjoy the things you can't do with a 8 wk baby like take your time going to the bathroom or having an adult conversation uninterrupted. hopefully that will help keep your mind off of missing your LO.

Wow! Thanks everyone for the kind words! I've been busy and didn't get to check. Lol
Well it went great! I cried a little after leaving the babysitters but I felt better afterwards. It felt great to be back at work! And T thrived at the babysitters. He took his naps even better than he does at home. Didn't fight them at all like he does with me! He took both bottles with no problems and pumping went great at work!
It was a good day but I'm glad I have tomorrow off.

@Danizaur: Yay!!! Glad to hear everything went well for both you and T!!! And it's nice that you have the opportunity to ease back into it by working today and having tomorrow off! Snuggle your baby as much as you can!!
