Done, Done, and Done!

Done #1: This week has been somewhat stressful for me I have been really blessed in the fact that I have been able to stay home with the baby for the last couple of months and I just love being home with him. But alas, I knew this would only be temporary and I have been trying to come to grips with that fact that I will be returning to work in about 3 weeks. Which is 2 weeks earlier than originally planned because silly me misunderstood the maternity leave information. I do get 8 weeks off for my c-section and then 12 weeks for my Paid Family Leave, but of those 12 weeks only 6 of them would be paid and I was NOT prepared for this. So this is why I will be returning to work a little bit earlier. So our schedule will consist basically of me working 8am-2pm M-F (to keep my benefits), Andrew taking care of the baby from 8-11am by working from home from 9am-11am and then dropping the baby off at daycare from 11am-2:30pm or so when I can pick him up after I get off work.

Done #2: Praise the Lord, I was so stressed about trying to find someone to watch the baby and yet God is still so good to me through this stressful time and he provided a path for our family. Someone from our church's daughter does day care during the day, she has 2 wonderful kids herself so I know she will be great. And because she is so amazing, I will only be paying approx. $100/wk versus $265/wk (Kindercare). God has once again been gracious to us and provided an open door, I give thanks to God for such a blessing. I am really excited to bring the baby for daycare. I really like the idea of Hezekiah getting the social interaction with other kids so I think 3 hours or so is just an awesome thing just for that reason alone.

Done #3: Well almost done #3, Christmas is almost here and I think I covered all the bases or ar least tried to considering I had no car the last 3 weeks now and had to do all my Christmas shopping online. So now I just get to share the wonderful presents I bought with my family on Christmas day :)
