Well, the title says it all! Work.

How did your first day back go? It's gonna be weird, I feel really guilty towards my little boy. I've been home for like 3 months now, but still. How did you guys deal with this? I'm having a hard time with it. At least grandma's are there to help. And yeah, it has to be done. I'm working 24 hours a week.

    I know it's hard to leave, I have to go soon, she might start crying, but that's real life unfortunately. Tomorrow morning and tonight lots of cuddles. Tomorrow evening I have to go too, and Wednesday is a nice day off again (L)

    I totally get it, girl! I had the same experience with Vito! It’s gonna feel weird and you’ll be thinking about him a lot. Just give him a quick call during work hours! I have to say, I don’t mind taking a break from work for a bit—it’ll come back around! Good luck and keep working hard, I guess!

    Love,

    the first day at work was actually pretty nice, but I'm also glad to be home again

    I have to work for the first time this afternoon.. I don't really feel like it, but it's more about the colleagues. I haven't heard anything from them since the birth. I already knew they wouldn't accept me because they're all very religious and I was pregnant and unmarried, but this really disappoints me! I'm also really hard at looking for another job!!

    Suc6 also with working melis! Found it disappointing too, not because of colleagues but just starting work while at home from 30 weeks pregnant. But now I have 2 days off, I have 2 morning shifts this weekend, and now I'm cozy with my little guy cuddling on the couch.

    I started working again 2 weeks ago (I work 18 hours over 3 days).
    One big advantage is that I work at my parents' company and the office is right under our home, so my girl is just one floor above me while I'm working...
