I’m back- January 20, 2011
It’s January 20, the day I’ve been dreading. But, I’m here. I did it. I left her.
She was still sleeping when I headed to work. I kissed her. She smelled so sweet. I keep smelling her sweet smell even though she’s not with me.
I will make it through today to get back to my baby. Breathe, don’t cry. You got this.
Spread it around:
(((((((()))))))))
and good news – you get to come home to her this afternoon and tomorrow will be easier.
stay strong… but it's totally ok to cry! it never gets "easy" but it will get a little easier each day. you'll find a groove.
Big day!!! I'm praying for you!! And I totally agree with the person above me – you'll find a groove that works for you! You're gonna do great at this working mom thing!!
I hope it goes well for you both!
Walking out the door is always the hardest part of my day, but it just makes coming home that much better! good luck:)

It is the hardest thing ever, but you are doing what you've gotta do, hang in there!
I'm right behind you, back to work on 2/7. You can do it!
Awww that is a hard day. I'm sure you rocked it though!
i rememeber when this day came.
I think I missed my kiddo more than he missed me.
She will be just fine, as for you, be strong and just remember you will eb back home. =)
[…] it was at 2:00am. I dragged myself out of bed and away from my baby to report the news. That was January, 2011. For another year I left my infant each day to go to work. It was hard, but she had great care at a […]
