Today I met a new mom - she had just come back to work after
being on maternity leave. She had a picture of her brand new baby up on her
desk, so I struck up a conversation as I said congratulations. She
automatically lit up and smiled really big and started telling me about her
brand new baby girl. Then, suddenly, it was like someone turned off her light -
she got quiet and with a serious face said "I miss her - I miss her so
much…" then she looked up at me with tearful eyes.
Oh I remember those days – those days when being away from
baby hurt my heart and soul and my hormones were all over the place taking over
every single ounce of me. Everyone told me it would get better and it eventually
did, gradually over time. Being a new mom is tough.
