32 weeks!

So..... 8 weeks to go before the little one arrives! I'm fighting a nasty cold / sinus infection which is seriously getting in the way of the little sleep I'm getting, but if that's the worst of the pregnancy woes I'll take it!

Pat and I are counting down the days until the Seniors are finished classes (5/14), exams (5/21) and graduated (5/29)! Hopefully once our kiddos are done than we can really starting mentally prepping for our own kid's arrival!

I read this great book on getting babies to sleep for 12 hours a night by 12 weeks of age last night. Aunt Erin gave it to me, and while we do hope to co-sleep for the first few weeks or so, getting him on a routine like this for when I go back to work would be fantastic as far as keeping all the different care-givers on the same track so that he has that stability.

I talked to my Principal today and he approved my plan to come back part-time in the fall (come into school only every other day that I teach) and to work from home the other days, and only have to take 1/2 a day of leave since I would still be doing my full job. I'm so glad that this worked out because I don't really have any other ideas about how to make it work. I mean I need to stay home at least a little bit come September but missing the whole 1st month with my Peer Ministers really wouldn't be good for them or the program in the long-term. I think that this is a solution that suites me, the programs I run, and doesn't really cost the school anything! YAY for compromises that work!
