It has been a while since my last post and a lot has happened.
First of all, I am no longer a toddler teacher at a daycare center as of February 17th. Due to the fact that I had a 45min commute, the cost of gas was at least a third of my paycheck, leaving little money to pay bills or get groceries. The second reason for my quitting has to do with my next bit of news for you.
I am pregnant and due June 25th, 2006, which makes me almost 27 weeks along.
You may be thinking that I could have continued working there while being pregnant, but pregnant women need to eat and rest. I was lucky if, during my ten hours of working, I got a half hour break for lunch. Nap time was when I had to scarf down my lunch, clean the room, and fill out evaluations of each child's day for the parents. It just wasn't good for my health.
What am I doing now? I've been substituting in the local school district as a pera professional. I really like it, although I wished they called me more to work. The past two weeks, I haven't been working, but that's okay because I was in the hospital for an infection and now I'm dealing with an allergic reaction to the antibiotics I was on.
Let's get back to the baby stuff. Olvyn and I found out last month that we are going to have a little girl. He thought we were going to have a boy and even dreamed about it. My doctor said that there still is a possibility of us having a boy because the ultrasound is not always right.
Take care and I will try to keep you posted on the baby stuff.
