Q: Dreading This Day!!

Well ladies...The time I have been dreading has finally arrived. I have to go back to work march 13th. Boo hoo.

I have found a really awesome babysitter, that I love. ( which makes it a little easier)
but it is goning to be extremely difficult on me. I am not concerned too much with nathan because he loves her, and will go to anybody. It is me I am worried about.

I get choked up about it just thinking about it.

I don't know how I am going to get out the door in the morning....And be to work on time. I'll have to get up at 4 am, to have everything done.

This last year, has been the best year of my life.

To make matters a little worse...I found a new career.

I will be a internal auditor, and control investigator for a company here. So on top of the stress of going back to work..I start a new job, and send my little baby to a sitter for the first time.....Ahaaahahhah

any suggestions to help me cope???????????

I don't really have to get up at 4 am ..I was just being silly...But it will seem like it in order for me to get myself ready, and get him up, bathed, fed, and packed for the day at the sitters.

I'll have to get his bag packed the night before.

I'm a stay-at-home mommy, but just think you'll have the interaction with ppl over the age of 1 lol

I know...That is about the only thing I am looking forward to.. Being my own person again, and not having a baby growing out of my hip. This is going to be a huge adjustment.

Has anyone heard from lil blaze lately, or jillian?.. I haven't seen them on for a while.

I thought about that side of it too. I thought about wanting to stay home and raise my son but at the same time I wanted to make sure I had some adult interaction so that I could still have a life. I thought about some mommy & me classes so that I could talk to someone who can say a little bit more than "grrp" and doesn't drool when replying. :lol:

To save time in the mornings, you could bath him in the evening instead.
Why dont you be a stay home mum? Theres always plenty of mum and toddler/baby groups you can go to meet and chat with other adults/mums.

U ppl are the only ppl I talk to. Sad I no plus those mommy and me classes are weird. I took macy to a gymboree class when she was 10 months and she was so much smarter than everyone (not being bias but seriously she could climb on the stuff and almost walk while the other kids jsut sat there) then all the parents want to know her life story like ive got something to hide as to y my kid can do this and theirs cant and then they sing and dance in a circle I know its for the babies benefit but those kids have no interest in what you are doing they jsut wanna poke each other and eat the toys (macy came down with a cold after that class) so basically u are standing there acting like a dork for your own benefit while your kids picking up germs

You just cope

i was waking up at 4:45 in the morning and I would wake elisa up at 5:45 and get her ready cause needed to be at the sitters for before 6:20 cause my bus comes at 6:25 and it took an 1h 10 mins to get to work everyday. Although you miss the baby you dont at the same time its nice to get a break away from everythingjust remeber they will be in good care and if you need toi call and check up then do so!!!!

Good luck!!

Maybe when he feels better he'll get back on track. Don't forget to take some you time (if you can squeeze any in :lol: ). I'm doing okay. Pretty tired still having dizzy spells and excited to be counting down the days until I can start looking for the m&m to make his grand entrance.
