We have just adopted our first child, a healthy cutie-pie baby boy, who will be one month old on the 24th. As I adopted and did not give birth I was not eligible for the paid leave that other moms get so I had to return to work much sooner then planned. I am very lucky that I have a sister who comes to my house to watch my little man so I don't have to bring him to a daycare yet.
I'm back at work at a job that I love, but all day long all I can think about is how my son is doing at home. Does this get better? Is it just a combination of sleep deprivation and anxiety of being away from my new baby? Or will the guilt at being away from him be with me forever?
