End of maternity leave

Haven’t gone yet but in the same boat . My son will be 10 months when he starts nursery and I’m distraught. He’s napping on me as I type and I keep thinking you’re not gonna get this at nursery are you

I've done a few KIT days though I'm not back full time until April 1st, but she had her first settling in day at nursery yesterday and it's definitely weird! My first KIT day felt strange, especially as my shifts are 24 hours but it's slowly feeling more normal. As much as I'm going to miss her when she's in nursery full time, it'll be nice to have chance to properly do housework, self care etc without feeling like I'm rushing things or running on empty 😅

It was my first day back yesterday and it was super hard being away from Archie but he was with my mum so it made it a little easier for me! Archie’s on a waiting list for nursery and I know I’ll feel completely different when he goes 😭 x

The first day was hard but every day has got easier since xx

My first day back at work was great - I loved being in the office and chatting to colleagues and engaging my brain in something else, etc. but I've been back for a few weeks now, and I'm starting to miss spending time with my little one. She's at nursery 2 days/week, and it still feels weird her not being at home. It's hard but I know it's the right thing for her and for me, hoping it'll get easier over the next few months 🙏

Thank you ladies for making me see the bright sides. I really needed that💕
