Tomorrow I have an acupuncturist appt and an OB appt so it will be a busy afternoon and there is a slight possibility that Stella will come early on her own but if not, we're planning to have a nice breakfast and then check into the hospital on Friday at 9:30am. Just getting a scheduled time with hospital made the realization we're having our daughter even closer. There have been many times today that I've teared up just thinking about having her in my arms and having a family with Ron!
We made our video tonight to Stella which was fun ....she sure isn't going to be with video and pic documentation growing up!
I also heard today from my work management that they only approved me having a transition work-from-home time period of 1 month (approx. 4-5 days) when I had originally asked for 9 months, then re-proposed 6 months. I was upset when my boss told me but knew that there was nothing I could do. There is no policy and I was asking my company/HR/management for a favorable consideration and got crap. It got upset on phone and didn't want my boss to hear the tears in my voice so I quickly ended the meeting. I pulled up my big girl pants after a bit and just decided to focus on the positive stuff. I'm already sensitive about having to leave my Stella and she isn't even here yet. How crazy is that! I WILL get to see her during my lunch hour, feed her, have a nice lactation room during the day and financially Ron and I have saved to where I can work 4 days a week till she is 1 years old. I plan to continue to see the glass 1/2 full and not get knocked down for long. Who knows where I'll be working in the future but for now we have plan and we're sticking to it!
Here is a record of our daily joys, adventures and love!
