I've been sitting here today dreading going back to work. I get occupational maternity pay that I have to pay back if I don't go back. If I changed my mind now I'd hardly have to pay back anything. Unfortunately my OH isn't English and if I quit my job it'll eff everything up with an immigration problem we're facing Money's going to be getting very tight very soon and I really don't want to go back yet. Especially after having to leave LO in NICU for the 1st week I feel very clingy.

I feel a bit strange when I see on facebook that people are going out without their babies when they're this small. One's going to concert which in my experience is most of an afternoon and evening, I just can't imagine it.

Ive decideded to go out for a couple of hours tomorrow night, im going to give ella her bath and bottle and be back to give her her bed time bottle so i wont feel like im sacrificing any parental duties if that makes sense?! im not going to drink so its more just to socialise for a couple of hours, i need to do it gradually i think! i dont feel nervous about leaving her prob because im leaving her with my mum and i completely trust her 100% with Ella, she sees her everyday so she is as much of a part of Ella's life as I am! xx
