The only thing that got me through was the thought of the nice things I could,buy her. Although this resulted in far too many toys from guilt-buying.

I thought I'd be fine about it because I'm only part time, but the week before was awful. I was crying at everything, picking fights with OH, and generally just terrified. But, in the end, the thought of it was so much worse than actually doing it. Once I got back it was nice to have some time to be 'me' instead of 'mum'.

I only worked part time, but I got to have some adult time whilst he spent the day with his Nan or Dad.

Is there no way you could go back and do fewer hours for a couple weeks, to make the transition a bit less dramatic? I can't offer any words of wisdom as my boy is 2 and a half and I'm not working. I wish I had gone back sooner though as he has never really been away from me for all this time, I think it will be a big shock to both our systems when I do eventually get a job. I hope things work out better than you are expecting, I'm sure it will. Enjoy the rest of your maternity leave with your baby girl..as your blog name says 'treasure every moment' xx #picknmix Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13802249019557290453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248244475983506646.post-41772599857579206132016-01-08T22:21:36.745+00:002016-01-08T22:21:36.745+00:00Aw, sweetie, I totally get all of this.

My partner will be home with our son every day I'm at work, so there's that (we're both going part-time - I'm doing Monday-Wednesday and he's doing Saturday-Sunday), but spending so much time away from him after spending the equivalent of just one working day from him in the last seven months sounds awful.

I am lucky that I will only have tinwork a few hours a week to start with so I won't be away from Lexie all that long but I know the older she gets the longer we will be apart and that makes me sad.

I was lucky in being able to cut down my hours and work them around my boyfriend so he looks after Ben whilst I work. I still didn't want to leave him. But when their faces light up when you see them after work it's amazing!<br /><br />Ben has recently started Nursery though I did cry the 2nd time I dropped him off, as he was saying he didn't want to go! But now he loves it and so will Isabella once she's used to it.<br /><br />Anna - <a href="http://annasreflection.blogspot.co.uk" rel="nofollow">Annas Reflection</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11305529413719903394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248244475983506646.post-48762328507618394702016-01-08T12:11:01.070+00:002016-01-08T12:11:01.070+00:00Bless you and I completely and utterly understand....Bless you and I completely and utterly understand. I am returning back to work after my mat leave this Monday, a brand new job and I am so scared and anxious. It's been bothering me for the last couple of months but I know needs must and I'm trying to get my head around it. This is my 2nd mat leave and it feels harder this time for some reason. We will be fine it's just that initial getting back into the routine!! Just enjoy the last couple of months hun, make the most of it.

The first day will be the hardest I am sure but soon enough it will become routine for you both. Isabella will be fine, you will be fine.
