18 weeks tomorrow, and i start my new job! Im a little nervous because its a whole new field of work, and im sad because i have to return to work...i wont qualify for FMLA, my new job doesn't know im pregnant yet...::sigh::
Dh and I have also been plotting on how we're going to rearrange our 1bdrm apartment to accommodate baby. We've come to the conclusion that the only way this can work is if we change the bedroom into a tiny "living" space (tv, small couch), Change the living room into our bedroom and change the dining area into the baby's room. We're going to install a door between the kitchen and dining area as to keep the cats out of the baby's room. We'll also put up a curtain between the dining area and living area so when we convert it to our new rooms, we have some sense of privacy between the nursery and bedroom. I know its a lot, but its the only way we can make it work. The bedroom is way too small to share with a baby...there is barely enough room for us in there!
We cant move because we cant afford it. With the upcoming cost of childcare, i don't know how we'll be able to afford anything! At my husbands current salary, its pretty much not worth it for him to even work after the baby comes..the only reason he's keeping his current job is because of his insurance that we so desperately need right now. I live in a state with one of the top ten highest childcare costs. Its utterly mind boggling how any normal person affords child care. I was crying the other day of the thought of not being there for every little moment in my baby's life. All of my family works full time jobs. My husbands family all work full time jobs too. I don't have any friends that have children and are stay at home moms..so basically we are screwed.
It could be worse, i know. I still hope our situation improves....
