Working Mom Woes...
So, I have returned to work. Boo! It's a lot harder than I ever thought it would be. I cry every morning when I think about having to leave Addison. I know in my head that she is safe at home with Daddy, but that doesn't make my heart feel any better. I work 1:00 PM - 6:00 PM, and Travis works 6:00 PM - 6:00 AM. In addition to leaving my sweet Addi, I never get to see my husband. Everyone keeps telling me that things will get better, but this is tough!

Natalie it is really tough! I have had to work with my little one's being at home. It will get better, but trust me it takes a LONG time to get used to it! So in the mean time you can call me and we can cry together!
I love you! I hope this all works out for you. But I say just stop working!
all i can do it have empathy for you. i hate leaving my kids everyday. and i don;t know if it gets "better", but you get used to it. i still have days that are very hard for me to leave my 4 year old let alone my babies who have firsts without me... oh the plight of the working mom. i have to look at the positives. i have way more patience with my kids than a lot of my SAHM friends. i get to use my brain and interact with adults, and have quiet time in the car during the commute. i cherish my time with my kids and i don't wish it away.
as for being apart from trav, i can't relate to that. but you should go on dates as much as you can so you know each other as soon as one of you gets a different shift.
Stay Home!!! You may get a little bored and feel like there is only so many times you can clean your bathroom in a week. But it is so worth it!!! Babies turn into 4 year olds way too quick!! Hang in there!!
I feel sad for you Nat... I feel sad for me as well, I have to go back in a couple weeks and am dreading it!!! Can't we be on maternity leave again... Good luck, hopefully you wont have to work for long
Sounds hard, especially never seeing your husband. It sounds like Travis is having a lot of experiences at being a daddy. I think all husbands should have to take a few days all to themselves just so they understand. Good luck.
