I am jealous tho! I get 10 paid holidays, 1 week unpaid vacation and that is it!
When I had my son, I only took 1 week off from daycare. My husband was off for the first week back.
Congratulations on your pregnancy!
My families don't know I'm pregnant yet
. I'm worried for a multitude of reasons!
- I run a play-based preschool...only accepting children ages 2-5. I don't know how they will handle me having a newborn. The only plus side is I've made an exception for 3 of the families and accepted their child at age 1 instead of 2.
- I'm stressed because I have to enroll my oldest daughter into kindergarten. The school district we are in is not the greatest and I'm worried the schools I would prefer to enroll her in won't accept her in time this August (1 of which is a charter school that has a long wait list and the other is out of our district).
- Before I knew I was pregnant the plan was to end our lease in September and purchase a house within the school district I want to enroll my daughter in (only a couple of miles from our current location). At this point I think our landlord was considering putting this house on the market in the fall so we may HAVE to move. Worst timing...I know. I'm pretty sure if we do move, one family will probably leave us. I'm not even considering mentioning a potential move until it's set into stone. Plus, how am I going to find time to have a baby and move at the same time?+
- In order to purchase a house we need to pay down our debt. I was planning on getting a second job on the weekends to do so rapidly, but I've been so wrought with morning sickness there is no way I can. When the morning sickness improves, I doubt anyone will hire a pregnant lady for only the weekends. Now I'm worried we won't pay it down sufficiently to qualify for a loan.
Can you see my stress leaking?!?!
