One thing she did right was take care of herself first so she could be whole to take care of me...OK, that's total lie but I should get points for trying.<br /><br />But you shouldn't feel guilty for taking some time to yourself.

That's a bad attitude before you've even given it a shot. New stuff is kinda fun, breaks up the monotony and keeps the mind active. Think of this as the best time to make the transition to the new stuff.

I was terrified and sad to go back to work - but also excited and relieved. I felt like such a mess, internally. I've now been back at work nine weeks and it's still hard, but MUCH easier than it was the first few weeks. Funny thing is it feels like WAY more than nine weeks - feels like it's been triple that. <br /><br />My best advice is you just have to plow through. There are good parts and there are bad parts and no solution is perfect, but you just do the best you can and love your little boy with all your heart and he (and you) will be okay.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
