Back to Work :(

Well my 12 weeks of maternity leave are almost up. I return to work on Thursday. I have cried every day for about a week now. It's been such a different range of emotions lately. I am excited to get back to work. Just to have a little structure in my life again and be able to get out of pj's and shower each day! But my baby girl.... uhhhh why is is that we mothers think that there is not another person in the world that could possibly know how to care for you child but you? I know that this will be much harder on me than it will be on her but, I still can't wonder if I am doing the right thing? I can't win really. I feel guilty for going to work. But I think I would go crazy being home. Plenty of women do this. I can right?

You are so amazing! I would be concerned if you hadn't been crying all week :) I hope everything went well with work. We need to talk soon. Love you.

ah, the guilt of being a working mom. Sorry to say that it never goes away. I still cried when I went back to work after the third baby. It is tough. My mom would always tell me that Bryce would be fine every day I went to school and I would always tell say, "yeah, but I'm not". Needless to say, it all works out eventually and you will find a way to juggle it all and be a great mom and great at your job. Best wishes.
