I have two weeks of maternity leave left. Before I had Claire I never, ever would have thought I was the kind of woman who would yearn for more time to stay at home with a baby. I always considered myself a career oriented woman. I still love my job and am missing my students, but I am so devastated about having to leave my baby girl in two weeks. I am having trouble dealing with these new feelings and figuring out how in the heck I am going to make it all work.
Some days when I have gotten very little sleep I wonder how I am going to get through the day - and all I have to do is take care of myself, the baby, and our pets. How will I cram teaching full time into the mix?
It is definitely going to be an adventure. And I am not sure that I am ready for it.
The things that happen to our family and how I feel about them.
