So, after 2 months off for morning sickness, hemorrhages and home iv/ zofran pump, I am finally on green light to return to work. I was super excited until just now remembered that means leaving my house nlt 4:40am getting to work about 6am, working all day (duh) and then leaving about 3:15 and not getting home until 4:45-5pm. That is a long @$$ day. I also just realized I'm probably not going to want to stay at this job bc there is no way in hello I'm going to spend 12+ hours a day away from my baby and leave her with my spaz mil everyday. I think we'd be fine on hubby's paycheck alone, I just find myself stressing out about a lot of things right now. Like being at work 12 hours a day (cause that commute is work to me) and we have so much work to do on the house before baby gets here, I don't know how we are going to get it done. I know I'm going to be insanely tired and hubby has very similar hours. We have 5 months left, it seems like a long time, but I just can't see it getting done in time. I guess I needed to vent, any words of encouragement or advice would be greatly appreciated. Advice for Mothers on Mother's Day. Thanks.

    Just reading that schedule of yours, makes me want a nap! ;) brutal!!
    Just do it one day at a time. It's all you can do, honestly without driving yourself batty. I still need to remodel basement for my teenager so this baby boy can have a nursery. I'm not stressing, he can room with me for a few months. I'm gonna work on home projects this fall.

    If you can, stop working around 30 weeks or so to give you time to get things ready and enjoy your days before baby is here. :) Don't push yourself too much. :) I left my job I loved and was at for 6 years when I was only 10 weeks!! Your happiness is way too important. :) If you can afford to leave don't feel guilty or like a failure you didn't work untill baby comes. :)

    @jaime77 thank-you, you are right, one day at a time. Yeah everytime I think of the schedule I want to take a nap too!!! Lol. ugh, remodeling is stressful. We got everything put of restrooms and our room and our garage is packed now so we could do carpets and paint. A lot of boxes from back when we moved in. Donated clothes and a lot if stuff to Veterans this past week and it still seems like so far to go! good luck with your projects and thanks for the bit of sanity :)

    @mrsforsee that is great you got to do that! My hubby said it is ok for me to do that, and it is probably the smart thing, but I am part of a big project that was kind of my baby before I could have one. Major things coming up that I need to prepare people for when I do leave and everything to go live so to speak next year. You have a good idea, 30 weeks might be too soon, but taking off early would help this. I just wish... Lol like every mother who has had morning sickness, I could have traded that time for productive clean time!!! Thanks, happiness and this baby are the most important things! :)
