Hey Karen, glad you're feeling better! I would feel the same as you about the playgroup, but I tend to be overly sensitive too. Actually, I probably would not have even made the move to call at all...I'm very shy around new people.
Well, it looks like my days as a SAHM may be numbered.
I got a call from a woman at my recruiter's office today and they've got a position at a pharma in Florham Park, in a brand spankin' new building right down the road from DH. It pays 5K more than I was making at my old job, & it's business casual. They need someone immediately though, so I may have to work temp until they do my background check and hire me perm. That's OK cause they said they can pay me 18/hr. to temp, which is close enough to what I was making that I could do it and not worry about the cost of daycare for a couple weeks.
As much as I want to continue being a SAHM, we really do need me to be working F/T right now. I was looking forward to nursing Peter exclusively til he's a year (no bottles), but I guess we'll be going back to it. I'll probably just send formula bottles to daycare with his food, and save whatever I pump for home. I will probably only have to pump once a day, around lunch, since he's not nursing that much. Doubt I'll get more than a couple oz. at that session. Last time I tried to pump some, I got about 2 oz. I guess what I could do is pump enough for comfort and train my body to just make enough for evenings? But then what about wekeends? I guess it'll just adjust??
Just got Peter down for his afternoon nap about 10 min. ago.
Guess he's growing up and can stay awake longer now. He didn't go down for his AM nap until 10.
He's starting to test himself standing without holding on now!
A couple times we've found him trying to let go! Today I had him by one hand and he told 3 steps!! Sniff, sniff...my little baby is growing up!!
