Any other full time working Mommies..depressed?

I don't know what it is but I just miss my daughter sooo much lately

Maybe because I'm not 'super' busy at work or it's just because she is doing so many new things and I'm missing it.

I've had a knot in my stomach since I got into work and I don't know why, she slept so much yesterday (very unusal for her) and I swear it's because she's depressed, can that be?

Mondays always seem off for her when I go back to work and she hasn't had an appeitite for the past two days.

This stinks, I miss her and just needed to share. Thanks for listening!

Here are some hugs to get through the day!

I'm sure you'd rather hugs from Mia, tho!

I hope I helped a little!

I only work part-time but still struggle with many of the same feelings. I do not know how I will leave 2 of them next year

Oh Camille, how I totally feel your pain. More then you know. Since I came back to work, I've been depressed and with all I've been through lately, it's only intensified.

All I can offer is many hugs!!!! Feel free to email me and we can commiserate together!!!

I don't think babies can be depresssed but I am sure they sense your feelings and the change on Mondays. Maybe you need a mommy/baby day off from work (aka sick day

It is hard for me to leave Molly on Tuesdays and I KNOW in another 4-5 months she will have to go to daycare for a few days a week. Once she is on the move I will never be able to get work done...I feel for you and all of the other working moms

It is not easy trying to do so much when you just want to be with the baby.

Yes! I was hating it. Friday is my last day in the office. I am going to work elsewhere where I have more flexiblity in my hours and can work from home more. I can't wait! I know exactly how you are feeling because I dreaded going to work and leaving Joseph. Hang in there, it may get easier for you and if not, you can always rethink your situation.

Re: Any other full time working Mommies..depressed?

I know what it's like!! It's awful!! Thank god for the weekends, it's really the only time I have to be with Geno. By the time I get home during the week I only have an hour b4 his bedtime, and I need to eat, feed him, give him a bath, and catch my breath. It's never enough time. But I find comfort in the fact at least I have 2 days a week for us to play together.

Re: Any other full time working Mommies..depressed?

Yes it's awful this time. When I had Amanda, I was able to bring her with me to work for the first 7 months and this time Emily has been home and I feel like I am missing all her 'first moments' so all I can offer is hugs and you will get through it
