Hi Oceanprincess.

The reason for my return to work was purely financial
Towards the end of my pregnancy DH transfered to a different department which mean't he no longer got overtime or penalty rates (a lot of which we were relying on for me to have time off work after bub was born). I returned back to work 3 days a week when bub was 3.5 months old and in June I increased to 4 days a week.
it is kind of nice to have a little adult time but I would much rather still be at home with my little girl.
