I did it, I went back to work. I was super emotional this morning when I dropped off L. I cried at work a bunch too...but thats ok when you work as a therapist (with mostly other mothers/fathers) and everyone is supportive and just think it's normal and appropriate to have a moment (or a few) throughout the day. There are many new things to learn, new clients to build rapport with- definitely like going to a new job. Pumping went much better today, so I have a new found confidence that I will be able to keep exclusively breastfeeding.
Hardest part of the day: When a client had her 5 month old son in group....L is 4 1/2 months and this little boy was making noises that L makes, and I could barely concentrate. Also just talking about L, brought up all the emotions- I did best when I was distracted by work stuff.
I don't work tomorrow so for breakfast we will be making
this.
