You can do it! It will be hard at first, but 7 hrs a week isn't much at all, especially if this means you won't have to return to work FT.
I start work tomorrow - I was suposed to have another month
Well..I have been trying to fugure out how not to return to working fulltime after my maternity leave is up. I have to at least work partime...so I wentr for a partime job interview today...and I am starting tomorrow.

I know this is good because it means most likely I won't have to return to my fulltime job...and I was even excited this afternoon...now I feel like crying. I'm not ready to leave DS - even for only 7hrs a week.

: Even though I know he will be fine - he wil be watched in the same building as me and he takes a botle fine etc...but the longest I've been away from him is 15mins when DH took him to a store.
...I don't even know why I'm posting this - I'm just so sad, I just got off an hour long phone call to my mom...and that helped some...but I'm so afraid I'm doing the wrong thing.
I don't even know if I can go!!!! And it's not helping that my SIL is geting to stay home with her baby...

Thanks for asking...
It was better than I expected (though it helped that DH got home early and picked DS up about an hour and a half after I dropped him off). I worried about him a little, but the ladies watching him seamed really nice - and I was able to pump more milk than I have been, so I knew he would be well fed (though I was sore not being able to feed or pump for 4hrs - I was in the water). DH reported that the baby was happy when he got picked up, and they had fed him and he did well - he cried at home with DH, but because he was gasy.
He has basically just been BF sense I got home..but I think ithe whole thing was harder on me than him!
I'm still not sure if I will stick with it..but I will give it try.
Thank you everyone for your support!

Even though I'm still feeling a little sad about it, do feel better. ..and I guess one good thing is how much it makes me appreciate being with him even when I'm tired at night!
