LIKE SHIT.
**please note, if anyone from my place of business reads this, you are all wonderful people. And I work at a great place. It's just....**
...seriously, going back to work is for the birds. I've spent the last ten weeks with my Sweetie Jr. and although my new Nanny comes with very respectable credentials, I'm not looking forward to it. To prepare- I've channeled my back to school days when I was a teacher: we're going to be and getting up like the schedule we'll keep next week but just keep doing our thing. So me and BB were in bed by 8:30 last night after his bath- he was asleep by 8:45 and I stayed up to read until 1030. One snack overnight and we were up again for his morning snack at 7:00 and out of bed at 7:30 when I showered and we got downstairs. Newsflash- He's a cranky pants. We usually don't get out of bed until about 9:30 so this is a change to say the least. I'm reading this situation as he doesn't want me to go back either.
Aside from the whole I-don't-want-to-go-to-work-and-I-just-want-to-be-independently-wealthy-bit, I'm mostly sad about not being able to spend the day with my son. Although he's doing all kinds of good two month old baby things, he hasn't rolled over yet- he's not holding his head up all the way on his own and he's on the verge of laughing...and now...my damn nanny might see it all first and gloat in her own little way.
Well, I suppose that's how my nanny felt when she left my sister, brother and I with her nanny...Grandmom.
So this week will be spent with Nanny, sister and her kids making sure that BB takes a bottle from her and ironing out the details of the next few months.

I feel for you.
But... I am right there with you. Although I took unpaid leave until early Sept., I just want to stop time.
Good luck, mama.
even if he does roll for the first time when you're not around, he will have NO problem rolling for his mommy a million times after that. and believe me, NOTHING is better than the look on your child's face when you return to daycare (or nanny's house) to pick them up. your kid's smile will melt away any work stress you have.
you can do it! you will survive and maks will be so happy and proud of his mama!
