i feel extremely sad about going back to work tomorrow and leaving my baby?

i never thought it would be this hard. i started crying since i woke up today and can't stop holding my baby. he's 9 weeks old. mothers are supposed to take care of their babies, not work!!! i hope i'll get used to it. i don't see how i can work and do a great job since i work at a children's dental office and i need to make kids feel good. i feel something i never felt before. i never felt so sad like this leaving somebody before. please share your similar experience with me, thank you

Love your heart. . .I know how you feel. With my first baby I was lucky enough to stay home for 6 months, but that was all we could afford. I remember my last day at home with him and how it broke my heart. You will get through this and there is no easy way around it. . .it is just something you have to do. The quantity of time is not nearly as important as the quality of time. . .make the most of the time you do have. I was lucky enough that my sister kept my son for me while I worked and she lived close enough that I would go to her house and spend my lunch break with him. Now my kids are in school and it is much easier, because they could not be home with me anyway. It is just another thing you have to go through. I don't know what your faith is, but I hope you don't mind that I am going to say a prayer for peace in your heart. This is something you have to do and is also a part of taking care of your baby, being able to provide financially for him. I am going to be thinking about you tomorrow because as a mother I know how heavy your heart feels today.
