Hi Sisters,

Just need a *hug*.

Leaving Grace while I'm at work is so hard. I still cry for her every morning on my way to work (4months back to work now). She's in wonderful care with my Mom. I am blessed they get such a wonderful time together, but I feel miserable missing out on Gracie's day.

I have to work, just have to. We've been trying to downsize our home for 2 years now but the Lord has not sent us a buyer and I prayed that prayer was answered before baby but God didn't want it that way, He knows best.

I supply the health insurance benefits. Praising the Lord I have em but also hard to have to stay working to have em.

I call and talk to Grace on the phone. Well, she babbles and slobbers but I know she's saying "I love you Mommy." But that sometimes makes it harder on me to get thru the day.

DH just started a brand new job so I gotta stick it out a while longer til his job is stable and in full swing.

Just needing a *hug* for today as I miss my baby. Anybody got any hugs they could share today?

TIA

(((((Hug))))) I can see exactly where you are coming from! I've been blessed in being able to stay at home and can only imagine the wreck I would be if I had to do that every day. I pray that this time goes quickly and God works out the details so that you can be at home.

At least you have your mom to watch her and don't have to do the daycare thing, not that its easier to leave her but at least you have the peace knowing she's in good hands. :-D

Hang in there, you are right, God knows best!

(((((hugs)))))

BIG HUGS for you!! I will be in your boat in just a week or so, and am not looking forward to it at all. It is wonderful that you have family to rely on to watch her and for you not have to do the scary daycare\private sitter thing. I pray your husband's job works out for you :)

Big HUGS

Ah sweetie...I understand! HUGS!!! Hang in there!

Hugs, hugs, hugs, I am so sorry you are working and have prayed not to be, you are right you are right where God wants you. That is hard to accept sometimes I understand this on a different level so to speak. Praying that your hubby's job gets into full swing soon and you can have your dream come true soon.

Oy the housing market, we were there a year ago, its not easy in itself sweetie. Will add you to my prayer list.

Awww...i'm sorry hon! ((HUGS)) I'm sure it must be tough. Will be lifting you up in preyer!

{{{Tia}}} It's so hard leaving your baby with someone when you need to return to work. I remember the day approaching with my firstborn. I cried too, and missed him horribly. But like you, we weren't in a position for me to give up my job just yet - needed to get "all our ducks in a row" so to speak (pay off vehicles, get some savings, etc.) I totally understand what you're feeling now and my heart aches for you!

Aw, Hon!! My ds is nearly 3 and I *still* HATE leaving him 1 afternoon each week! I know how it is....hang in there - you will always be the mommy and your little one/s will always know that! No one can replace you!!

Big Hugs!! It can be so hard to leave our little ones, especially when they are small! I wanted to ask if the main reason for working is to provide health care benefits, is looking into Healthy Kids (children's medicaid) a possibility? I hopoe God brings a peaceful resolution for you soon! Hang in there!
