One week until we find out the sex of L's baby...as long as he/she cooperates. L and Mike think/want it to be a boy....I think it's a girl...but everyone agrees that a healthy baby is all we really want. We are all excited to be able to see the baby. Mike is going which I am excited for. He was able to take the day off and L is fine with him being there so all is a go.
On another front...I have decided to resign from my job and start working per Diem. Basically I work when they need someone...with no promised hours as in part or full time....but at a higher hourly rate. I have signed up with several companies so I am hoping to work 3 -4 days a week. I did this for multiple reasons. I found I was not happy with the current environment I was working...where I used to be happy. I did not want to be grumpy when coming home to my child. I am hoping everything will work out with L...and if not that we will be matched sometime within the next year. With no family in the area to help occasionally I have decided I need to still work but have more flexibility in my schedule which per Diem allows for. Mighty risky with the economy some may say....except in the health care field. There is plenty of work to be had. I actually pretty much am working all of May and June and have started scheduling July. See..lots of work to be had. This will allow me to still make money and have a little more time with a baby. I am excited for this new journey...but also fearful that it wont work out. In the end I know it will work out...I just need to get used to it. I really believe this is the best thing for our family.
Yesterday I was conversing with L through text messages and at one point I wished her a Happy Mothers Day..and her response was...."I'll tell you that next year." How sweet....it made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside! Keep your fingers crossed.
