I have a little less than 3 weeks before I head back to work and I am soooooo dreading it. January 3rd is the official day. I know that some of my other friends who have been on maternity leave and their time has already come for them to go back to work so I know that they can relate. I am really nervous about how I am going to cope with not being with Hunter at every moment of every day that I have been for the past 3 and half months. I do know that I will be pretty distracted going back to my busy job as a legal assistant at a law firm so that should help. I'm just hoping that I don't find too difficult. We have decided to try him in his day care a few days the week before I go back to help Hunter adjust and for me to adjust with waking up early and making sure that I have everything prepared for both of us. So that is going to help out a lot and plus I won't have to worry about my first week going back wondering if Hunter is crying his head off at day care for me. Sean asks me all the time what the worst part is about Hunter in day care - which I have failed to mention, that he will only be in day care approximately 1 to 2 full days a week and about 1 or 2 half days a week because of Sean's schedule. So back to Sean's question - what is the worst part about Hunter going to day care? It's that he will cry for me and I'm not there. I'm sure that is every mommy's concern when they go back to work but that really tears me up. The director at the day care facility told me that yes, he will cry for me, if not the first day, the second day he will. She said after that, he will be just fine. So that is why I am going ahead and getting that "crying out for mommy" fear out of the way a week before I go back to work. I may as well get it out of the way while I am still on maternity leave and if they need to call me for whatever reason to get him I will. I can just see myself when and if they call me, "Mommy to the Rescue!!!" Haha!
I even ask Sean if he is ready for me to go back to work because he will be Mr. Mom and have to try and muster up some more patience before I go back. I'm not worried about Sean...no way. He's got it handled =). I just told him he can't call me every hour at work. I'm sure that I will have a reference guide for him on the table of what to do for each little thing.
Either way, I am excited to see all my friends at work and for the obvious reason, MAKE A PAYCHECK! Now that our house is under contract and it looks like we will be moving soon, we are definitely going to need some extra money. So at the end of the day, I am doing this for my son. Going to work and saving money. That's my motivation.
