How's it going being back at work?

I get you, I feel like they are still so little to be left with anyone else 😭 my little one is going to be left with family as well which makes it a bit easier. Still not easy though! Feel like I'm going to be constantly thinking about her when I'm at work. Going to be difficult to focus 😩
I’ve had to go back full time, I thought I’d find it really difficult, but I’m actually feeling much better mentally being back. I’ll admit that it probably helps that both boys have been off sick more often than I’ve been in work, so I’ve not had a chance to miss them that often 😂
It just becomes a new normal. I went back 3 days as those are days the childminder could do so it does mean I have 2 days in the week with our daughter still. I literally rush out the door at home time and the smiles and love we get when we pick her up are unmatched!
I started a new job yesterday. The fear of it was way worse than the reality in my case. I’ll be 3 days a week from week 3, just 2 days this week and next. Last night was a bit hectic as I had to do dinners and prep my lunch. Today was grand as I’m off tomorrow. I’ll be meal planning hers and my meals going forward. Baby is with nanna thankfully.
It's been hard, I've been doing a 4 day week. 2 in the office and 2 at home. It's hard because he is so needy and I was still breastfeeding. I've cut down on that since he eats more and I pump at work. My mil is looking after him 2 days a week but it's hard to trust anyone other than myself and my husband.
