Well, I have to go back to work on Monday morning. The kiddos come back on Thursday. I've been in and out of my classroom working last week and today, trying to get some stuff done bit by bit so I won't be quite so worn out next week. I took Keira with me last Tuesday and today. It's hard to get much done with her there, but I couldn't stand the thought of leaving her with someone while I went in to work. It's bad enough that I have to leave her starting next week. I think I'll be ok (and I KNOW she'll be fine) once we settle into a routine. The first few weeks always stink though.
This is how the next few weeks will go for us...
WEEK 1: Monday-Aunt Sis's house, Tuesday-Daycare, Wednesday-Shawn, Thursday-Daycare, Friday-Gramma
WEEK 2: Monday-Gramma 1/2 day (I have to take a half day at work b/c I have a doctor's appointment in the afternoon), Tuesday-Daycare, Wednesday-Aunt Sis's house, Thursday-Daycare, Friday-Gramma
WEEK 3: Monday-Aunt Sis's house, Tuesday-Daycare, Wednesday-Shawn, Thursday-Daycare, Friday-Gramma
WHEW! Hopefully we'll be able to keep track of everything. Basically she'll be at daycare every Tuesday and Thursday, with Gramma every Friday, at Aunt Sis's house every Monday, and with Shawn every other Wednesday.
I'm just really dreading having to be away from her. If it's possible, I'm having worse separation anxiety this year than I did last year. I think it's because she's older now and we've had so much fun together this summer. She learns something new and amazes me every day. I just feel like I'm going to miss something. *SOB* Poor Mommy!
On a more positive note, I'm 25 weeks pregnant today. That means only 15 weeks until my due date. THAT MEANS, only 14 weeks of work until I'm back at home again for 6 or 7 weeks of maternity leave!! I don't think my doctor will induce my labor since I want to have a VBAC this time. But, I'm going to ask her if she'd do another C-Section IF Reagan doesn't come on her own by 39 weeks. It sounds selfish maybe, but I really don't want to be in the hospital for Thanksgiving. Ideally, I'll go into labor on my own somewhere between November 7-14, have a "natural" delivery (with epidural if necessary), stay in the hospital 2 or 3 days, and be home and recovering spending time with my girls by Thanksgiving. I'd really like to have everyone (both Shawn's folks and my folks, my siblings and his siblings) at our house for Thanksgiving this year because I REALLY don't like the idea of taking a newborn out in November AND it would be awesome for everyone to be together. I guess we'll see how it goes. In a perfect world we could schedule everything according to our wishes, couldn't we?
Let's see...what else? We had to spray our living room and bedroom with flea spray this evening (and on Saturday). Since giving Max away, we've noticed a few FLEAS (YUK!) around the house. I guess they don't have anywhere to go now that Max isn't here. I HATE FLEAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, hopefully we'll get rid of them...and NO MORE inside dogs again EVER!!!!!!! What a pain in the butt! Of course even though the labels on the spray say that it's safe to sit/walk on the treated surfaces after an hour, I'm still hesitant. Hopefully it isn't harmful to small children and pregnant women! It's been 1 1/2 hours now, so I'm guessing it'll be safe. What a worrier I am...
Anyway, it's Keira's bedtime and Shawn's teasing me ("Are you writing a novel over there?"). I guess I'd better end here and put her to sleep. I need to get a clean crib sheet out...I'm off now. Goodnight!
