14 Days...
...until I get to know whether this baby is a boy or a girl... Sept 30th at 3pm to be more specific. I can hardly wait! Being the planner, engineer, and bargain shopper I am, it has been beyond tough for me to be in the dark this long! What would I do without technology?! And you "I-want-to-be-surprised" types are a complete mystery to me. :)
16 Days...
...until I am done with my job. Remember I told you September 26th was my last day? Here's how great the people I work with are: They told me if I work even one day in October the "rule" is such that the DOT will pay my health insurance for the whole month. After talking to my supervisor and talking to Sadie, we all agreed another 4 days would work out fine. :) (And given the cost of a Type II ultrasound, Joel's expensive insurance premiums, and crazy out-of-pocket costs -- 4 days seemed like a small thing to me!) So now Thursday, October 2nd is my "official last day". (Yes, I really am leaving ;-)
----------------------------------
Lastly, my kids came home tonight!! I can't tell you how much I missed them and loved the break all at the same time :) I went into work today, and my co-workers commented on how "happy" and "relaxed" I was. I didn't think I looked haggard and stressed all the time, but in hindsight, I did cry two days last week (or was it three?) and then I surprisingly quit, so maybe I didn't have on the brave face I thought I did? :)
We all got home about 6:30 tonight and the kids spent an hour running around and visiting all their favorite toys (inside, outside, upstairs and down) before bedtime. It was really fun to watch. :) Before bed, I got extra hugs from Reagan and Grant snuggled his forehead against mine and then kissed me on the cheek. I'm telling you, moments like that are priceless! I love these kids and I know I have made the right choice to stay home :)
Dave and Linda, you guys are the best and we can't thank you enough! Thank you for loving our kids, wanting to know them as individuals, and for loving us and giving us time away. I think I may have narrowly avoided some kind of meltdown :)
