I485 updated to New Card Being Produced but need to travel internationally in 2 days

Hi all! My I485 EB3 ROW (PD Dec 02 2022) just got updated to "New Card Is Being Produced" today after being stuck at CRP for a year. While it's great news, I have to travel internationally for family reasons in 2 days and probably won't get my card in time. I have already emailed my attorney and waiting for more information, but just want to see if anyone here has this experience before. I have a valid H1B stamp that I just renewed the past November. How should I prepare for my re-entry to the US? UPDATE: The attorney recommended me to have someone mail the green card to me while I'm back in my home country to reduce complications during re-entry, so I will do just that. Thanks everyone for your comments!
