Moments of Musing

The end of my maternity leave is near…

Filed Under: Baby L, motherhood, working mom // September 27, 2016

For those who know me, it should be of no surprise that I’ve already had a meltdown about going back to work. In fact, I shed a few tears while writing this.  To say I am sad is an understatement.

I am scared to miss Sebastian’s firsts. His first crawl, word, steps. 
I am worried he won’t love me as much. I don’t want him to feel less loved because I am around less.
I am anxious to spend most of our days apart. I wish I could spend more than just a few hours together during the week. My 1.5 hour commute doesn’t help much. 
I am sad that I’ll miss his good morning smiles and happy moods. I’ll most likely be leaving the house while he’s still fast asleep. 
I do hope he knows I am doing this for him. To help our little family. I hope he grows up to be proud of the mom I am and try to be. Moms who’ve gone back to work after having a baby–PLEASE share your tips! Much thanks in advance.

XOXO
