2 more weeks

2 more weeks then I have to go back to work full-time. I have been out of work since March 16 (with the exception of 1 workday and 4 workshop days). I have to take my baby girl to daycare for the first time. Someone other than family will be taking care of her for the first time. I know she will be well taken care of but I'm just nervous and anxious about the whole thing.

I'm excited to go back-- to see the students, to teach, and to work with my fellow teachers BUT I don't want to leave Julianna! Our life is going to change so much. A lot less sleep, less time with my baby, more driving, more stress, and definitely more caffeine.

If you pray, pray for me. I know women do this all of the time. They go back to work and take their baby to daycare but it's still so hard. She will be 5 months old when she goes to daycare for the first time. I know it will take some time to adjust (for the both of us) and it'll probably be easier on her.

Working moms: Any tips for making an easy transition back to work for me and to daycare for Julianna?

good news!

Josh got some good news today. I can't share too much about it right now (via blog--you can ask us though) but just know that God's listening to your prayers. Keep sending them up to Him!

Today, I have started my packing for this weekend. This will be Julianna's first overnight trip. We are going to South Carolina to visit Josh's dad. I'm sure abuelo will be excited to see little JuJu! I just know that I'm going to forget something...
