Well when I got back from NC I was able to find a daycare for Kaden. It is at a church about half way between my house and work. I started back to work only half day and I have been staying an hour longer each day working up to a full day on Friday.
Our first day Kaden cried. I nursed her at the daycare and when I left she was a lot happier. She is doing well, the teachers love her and she seems to like them too.
I am doing okay. I am actually handling it better than I thought I would. No one likes leaving their three month old in day care. But this is good, Kaden likes it, I get my work done, and then we can enjoy our time together in the evenings and weekends.
I am pumping at work so Kaden has food for the next day but I am finding that my milk supply seems low when I pump. Does anyone have suggestions?

You need to let down. Try looking at a picture of Kaden or thinking of her when you pump. Or- nurse her on one side and pump on the other on the weekends. See if that will boost your supply.
Make sure you have the right size breast shield. Also if you do shorter more frequent sessions you will increase your supply.
I agree with those ladies. Also I would make sure that I solely nurse when you are with Kaden. I know sometimes that isn't the easiest thing but her suction is what will keep your milk up the best--even though it's hard to believe it's harder than the pump. Also, DO NOT STRESS about it. That surely doesn't help. :)
