Yes. Do your best to get over it.
And yes, those feelings are appropriate.
Life....and particularly the raising of children....is full of necessary compromises. This one is not one you should beat yourself up about. Daycare will help your child socialize with peers, build up immunity, and enable you and your spouse to support the family. In
your ideal scenario, you would not need to make this choice, but for now, you do. Be the best parent you can be when your child is with you and you will find that he/she is no worse for the time spent away.
Keep your head up. Do the best you can and don't let anyone make you feel bad for how you have acted in the face of difficult decisions all parents must face.
