Went back to work and I actually miss my baby

Been back at the office for a week after my leave ended and I miss my son so much. I keep looking at pictures of him on my phone during meetings. My coworkers are probably getting sick of it but I don't care. I never expected to feel this way. Now I'm stressed about work AND anxious about leaving him at daycare. How do you guys manage this guilt?

The pictures thing is totally normal. My daughter is 8 months now and I still catch myself scrolling through her photos during slow parts of the day. You're not alone in this.

That first week back is brutal, man. I was doing the same thing with my phone at my desk. Give it a couple more weeks and it gets easier, but that connection you're feeling is exactly right.
