Today is my last day of Maternity Leave.....

Today is it...I work a 24 tomorrow and i'm starting to freak out a bit I want to go back because I miss my job and I cna't wait, but I can't stop crying. I can't believe it's over. I can't believe I won't be here to put her to bed tomorrow night. What if she needs me? Does Daddy know what to do? Does he know what lawn chair, and beached whale are? What if she won't stop crying? Does he know to swaddle her and hold her over his heart? What if I have to pump and can't? Will my boobs explode ? HELP! I know this is silly since she'll be with her Daddy, but i'm a freaking mess. Today all we're doing is getting our cuddle on

Hang in there. It will be rough. But, it will get easier each day. And Daddy will figure it out. He won't do it the same as you but, he'll find his way.

It is rough. There will always be questions in your mind. There will be tough days. I cried a lot my first night back. It is hard to pump when you need to. I found it best to pump when I could, even if it was earlier than I should. Better than not being able to pump at all.

Good luck!!!!!!! It DOES get easier.

Thanks ladies...i'm here now and I creied my eyes out all the way to work. It's getting better, but I know bedtime will be hardest for me. I have NEVER missed a bedtime since we started our routine I just have to keep reminding myself it's only 6 shifts a month. I can do that.....right
