Dean is 3 months old today!
wow time flies but it's so much fun! 2 more weeks off and then I start working again, that'll be an adjustment, I'm a bit apprehensive but I think once I get going it'll be fine. I'll be working 24 hours and grandma's will look after him.


but I always say everything will be fine!


how was your first week back at work??

    Hey Irma,

    It was awful for me!

    Two weeks before I went back to work, I started crying every day, and apparently my son felt that stress and stuff because just a few days before I started working again, he started waking up at night again, and he did that all night long before he was 2 months old!

    And yes, one day before I started working, he didn't let me sleep at all!

    Once I was at work, I missed him so much! When I dropped him off at his grandma's and got into my car, I had to wait 10 minutes before I could start the engine; the tears just kept falling from my cheeks!

    It took 1 month before I got used to it! My husband sent me a few photos and videos of our son every day to motivate me to keep working.

    I wish you lots of success and hopefully it won't be as hard for you

    Greetings

    I have to go back to work in 3.5 weeks Then Vivienne will be 4 months and 1 week old. I'm really dreading it! I'll be working 24-hour shifts, and the grandmas will be looking after her. Pff, time flies, wow! I wish I could stay home with my little girl

    I really don't like it either.
    I think it applies to every mom, unfortunately, it's just part of it.
    It's definitely a big adjustment. I also feel like it's going so fast, my little boy is 3 months old already, yay.
    But it's so nice, he's babbling happily and laughing, it's so lovely.
    He has already spent a few hours at one of the grandmas' before, but now it's different.
    I can start crying just thinking about it, and to be honest, it's making me feel a bit sick
