Okay so somebody tell me how it is already JUNE 2nd, 2012! Time has flown by and I have not spent any time updating my blog! Well here goes ~ so I have been working since the end of January. New school, new students, daycare, oh and did I mention being PREGNANT again:) Things have been going well ~ it is easy for me to admit that my career is for sure not as important as it once was. All I want to do is get off work and spend time with Marley and Paul. Luckily, Marley ADORES her daycare (as do I) so that has made this past 6 months way easier. I struggled with leaving her for work ~ especially since the school district is still laying so many of us off. Marley's daycare is so wonderful and it made all the difference. Work was work and I am glad to be off sooner than later. We have 3 more weeks of class than it will be MARLEY & ME time:) We get a whole month and a couple weeks before the new baby is to arrive so I plan on doing something super fun every single day with Mars bar. I was laid off again this past week (2nd to be cut so everyone below me is cut too ~ that is 419 all the way to 576!) I am not worried as I will be the 2nd one to be recalled so I should know my "assignment" in a couple of weeks if not sooner. They will then place someone in a long term TOC position to fill my spot as I am on Mat. leave as of September.
I know 2 kiddies will be crazy but I am so excited ~ family is really where my passion lies now. The pregnancy has been more difficult than the first as I have a lot of hip and groin pain ~ I hurt my groin at the end of Marley pregnancy and that seemed to pop right back a couple months into this pregnancy. We are 30 weeks right now and I am tired but surviving:)
Marley is growing like a weed and finally decided to walk about a month ago. She is 16 months old! She took her first steps about a month prior to walking full time. It was getting to be very difficult to carry her around with the growing baby bump so I am so happy she is now up and at 'em! Her words are coming along ~ mainly mama, dada, wawa, baba, pup pup, foee (for Flora our dog), and SHOES! She already has a shoe obsession and loves changing shoes ~ she also likes to say 2 shoes! Very adorable! I don't know how much she understands about a new baby coming along but she sure likes to smack and kiss my growing belly. We are going to wait to find out what the gender is and we have switched to a midwife who is amazing! So yeah ~ that about sums up life right now...winding down work, summer break quickly approaching, playing with Marley, enjoying the pregnancy, and looking forward to August 17th (our due date)! Paul is doing well too:D I will try to write more often but we all know how that has been going!
