Craziness here!
Work has exploded with more than I can begin to keep up
with. My job has become more fulfilling
and fun than it ever has been before. I
find myself having trouble actually getting up from my chair and leaving at
night, but I force myself because I know I need to get home to be with my
little man. It’s good, but also a little
stressful since my fall classes started last week as well. I can usually count on a slower day at least
a couple times a week where I can take an hour lunch to read, do homework,
study, etc . That has been a complete
impossibility the last month. I need to
find a way to focus on my studies while being a great employee and an even
better mom. It’s hard, there’s no
question.
B is still adjusting to his new classroom at school, but he
has really calmed down. It has taken
every day since my last post to make this much progress, but we are getting
there. He fusses a little when I leave,
but it’s nothing like the full-on meltdown I was dealing with before.
My parents arrive for a 5 day visit this evening. They have not been here since last
Christmas which is a very long time for them. My parents are very sweet and they mean well. They never say anything
rude or question my methods, but they just have a way about them that can be
annoying. At the same time I am so very
excited for them to be reacquainted with my little B. They are true doting grandparents and B will
be spoiled rotten during their stay (since they are keeping him home from
daycare tomorrow and Friday). We have no family nearby, so I'm looking forward to sharing our little B's antics, sense of humor, strong-willed nature, and love of the outdoors among other things with someone else who loves him (almost) as much.
Pretty boring update, but generally good stuff going on here. A close friend’s sister just found out she
was pregnant after her 2nd FET cycle (her first FET resulted in a miscarriage a few months
ago). I also spent a few minutes this
morning catching up with a colleague from another office who struggled with
infertility, then when she did get pregnant, she had to be on bedrest at 23
weeks, then her water broke at 24 weeks... luckily she was able to maintain the pregnancy
until 30 weeks, at which time she gave birth to a baby boy who is now 9 months
old and shows all signs of having a perfectly normal life! I don’t always get to report such good news from the infertility community,
so I'm enjoying it today.
