1st Day Back to Work After Maternity Leave | Full Time Working Mom of 3

You are amazing. I live in canada where we are blessed with a good maternity leave. I cant imagine having only 12 weeks. It so wrong. You are so strong and i really applaud your dedication to nursing. Beautiful family!

Just found your videos again - this video touched my heart. Stay strong - I know it’s hard. And, you are so right - I thought it would be easier to return to work with my second, having already done it with my first, but it was actually harder. I struggled - still struggle - with dividing the little time I have with both of my girls. In retrospect, I feel like it was “easier” with my first because when I was off from work, I could devote all of my time to her. I also pumped at work for both girls. Pumping the second time around was so hard for me - it was difficult to get past the mental block of being attached to a machine and not with my baby. At the end of the day, I have had to rely on my faith - this is where God wants me in this season of my life. Life is not perfect, but my girls are thriving. Some days, I am a super mom...some days, not so much. I just want to let you know that I feel you - you are not alone. You are a GREAT mom!! Take it one day at a time. ❤️❤️

I love how REAL your videos are💙

I am glad I found your vlog! I am a mom of four similar ages to your three 3 months, 2, 8, and 12. I go back to work this week! I am so sad and been asking God for peace about going back. I also need to work and I love my job. I am a teacher, but it is still hard. I keep thinking that I need to look at the positive and see the blessings that I have summers off. It’s hard though! Thank you for your video and showing us moms we are not alone! God bless your beautiful family!

Oh my gosh, I felt this in my bones! (When you were talking about leaving your baby.) When I was in the Air Force we only got 6 weeks of maternity leave, which is insane!! Luckily now the ladies have 12 weeks, but I’m a stay-at-home mom now and probably will be when we have our last baby, too. I love how you said you don’t feel remorseful for being a working mom. I struggle with being “just” a sahm and not having something for myself, but I miss being in the Air Force so bad it hurts sometimes! Man, why does life have to be so hard for mamas??

I came across this video after searching for some advice on dealing with going back to work. I’ve been fortunate enough to have 8 months with my son, but I start a new job in a couple weeks and I’m absolutely dreading leaving him behind. I’ve had so much anxiety for the last week, but watching your videos about going back to work has really helped ease some of that anxiety. Even though it feels like it, I know I’m not alone, so thank you for sharing this ❤️

Your kids are so adorable! Love watching your family.

You are such a good mom:)

You are such a great momma ! But your feelings are so valid. You helped me when I had to go back to work with my first and only child. I remember you had to bring Emma for the first time. I can only imagine having to go through that roller coaster all over again. As horrible as it is, you know they don’t even remember within a few months he’ll be used to it. But yes, nature never intended for mother species to be away from their babies until they are able to take care of themselves. But he is lucky he has his big sissy, someone he knows and feels comfortable with ❤️ you are teaching your kids that things will always be okay even if it means you’re not there. Also they will be more used to being away from you when they go to school. I know you know all of this but just trying to reassure you that your doing awesome !! ❤️❤️

It's a shame the the country everyone wants to come to and we make moms leave their babies at 12 weeks.. sometimes even less depending on where u work. Its sad

Yasss the dodge family is back! 😊😊I have miss your vlogs so much. I watch you on IG but it’s not the same 😫

Your family is adorable congratulations on the baby! New subscriber here😄

Just read your post on Instagram re: your first Christmas tree. You are so right. We see on youtube, families that think bricks and mortar and possessions are the be all, to end all. Staying true and faithful to yourself and your faith are the things that count. I wish more people would read your Instagram post. Thank you and Merry Christmas to you and your family.

My son is 8 weeks. Going back at 16 weeks. Imma cry my eyes out!!!!!!
