I went "back" to work this week subbing my first day on Thursday only a half day...and then I have jobs lined up for TWO full weeks! I've never worked so much in September, not a lot of teachers need subs so early in the school year BUT I've now made some good contacts/friends and so I'm staying buiser. This means that I've been taking Pax to "daycare"- my good friend Jackie has agreed to the majority of days with his Grandma Nettie and my friend Tracy helping out too. I have a whole new respect for working moms now! Just 3 days of full-time work (and I don't even have to "parent" after 6pm!) and I'm exhausted and sneezing. I'm hoping this doesn't develop into another full blown cold. It also means I'm missing MOPS for two weeks but the paycheck at the end of October will be worth it. Ryan has been coaching and teaching for three weeks now and he's really enjoying this year! He's very optimistic that his soccer team this year is going to be awesome! We got some fabulous news this week too- Ryan's teaching partner Amy and her husband Matt are expecting their first baby too- in early March 2011. We're so excited for them...and for playdates in the summer!
Bailey has not enjoyed me going back to work because he ends up kenneled during the workday. He was definitely spoiled this summer! Another unfortunate side effect of this pregnancy is that the couch is now my bed...for two reasons. 1) I snore too loud for Ryan and he's the one who has to get up early and 2) my back hurts after spending a night in our bed. So Bailey has also been kind of thrown off because he has to wake up in the middle of the night to evenly divide his snuggle time:) He's quite protective of Pax and Baby B...tonight he curled up next to the tub while I soaked and I woke up this week to him cuddling my belly! He's going to be such a great doggie to Baby B:)
Bailey cuddling the belly!
