1st Day Back to Work from Maternity Leave

So Im lucky enough to have a stay at home mom. Because she is the one watching over my 7 weeks old baby boy. Im not going to lie to you, I shed a tear or 2 when I dropped him off this morning. But I know he is in good hands.
Some of you working moms might not be as lucky as me. you have to pay tons of money for daycare and you don't really know the people watching over your baby. But lets face it. Everything is going up! gas, groceries, rent, bills, interests lol. We couldn't afford me not working anymore... :( and it sucked. I never thought I would want to be a stay at home mom, since my mom did it my whole life. She cooked, cleaned the house, did laundry and took care of us.
I always said.. I will never be a stay at home mom, Im independent, I like working and having my own money, I don't want a guy to take care of me... When I got married (almost 2 years ago) I said the same thing. Im not staying home and becoming your maid honey lol Well, things change... After I had my little bundle of joy I changed my mind. I wanted to tell my hubby that I wouldn't mind becoming a maid like I call it. I just wanted to stay home with my little one, and take care of him, I would even learn how to cook lol. But like I said sometimes with this though times you cant afford it. I know my situation is different from many of you but here are some things you guys can do to be able to go thru your first day back from maternity leave!
1. Spend as much time as you can with your little one the night before.
2. Talk to him, tell him mommy is going back to work, and she is going to be able to buy him so many things, and that he is going to be ok! (this, believe it or helps you out a lot! (; because YOU start to believe it)
3. Before you go back to work make as many trips as you can to the place where your baby will be staying at
4. ask if you can do video calls! if you can.. you should totally do one at lunch time. Seeing your baby is calm and ok will help you get thru the day!
5. Wake up early that first day, cuddle with him, cry with him and remind yourself that youre doing this to give your baby a better future!
6. When you are at work, try to not think about it, at least for that first day. that way you wont start crying cause you miss your baby.
7. Remember that you're doing this to give your baby a good life, a better future, a home and remember, it will be over in 8 hours, it will all be ok!
