39 weeks!
Well, I have not been very good at keeping up with this blog! We are 3 days away from D-day, which may not mean anything, it could be 10 more days!! I am feeling good other than the leftovers of a cold. Things have been pretty nuts around here for the past month. I started my new job at the beginning of February as the educator on the mom baby unit. I thought it would be smart to get my foot in the door before I went out on maternity leave. It was definitely not as easy as I thought. Trying to get to know people (when I can barely remember their names) and figuring out my role all while having placenta brain... It was almost a relief when I worked shifts in NICU because at least I could go in there and feel comfortable. Transitioning from a bed side nurse to more of a CNS is definitely a challenge. But, there is a lot of work to be done in that unit and I feel blessed that it is part-time which will allow me to 1) spend lots of time with my new addition and 2) still work per diem in the NICU, my first true love.
Tony's job has provided us with more than challenges with the prospect of relocation. I will remain in denial about this until it actually happens. I feel like I have everything I could want, living near my friends and family, a great home, new baby, perfect (well-paying) job scenario. Leaving is not something I am remotely interested in. In this economy, if there is one thing I have learned, no one is unscathed and we are all lucky we have gainful employment.
But for the time being, the focus is Big Ben and anticipating his arrival! Hopefully my next post will include pics of the handsome boy.
