Family Reunion Time
We're heading off tomorrow for a family reunion on D's dad's side and the wedding of one of D's high school friends. It should be a fun packed long weekend with lots of fun baby time for Bacon with her aunts and grandparents. D and I will actually get our first night out alone for the wedding on Saturday and may get some extra babysitting for the rehearsal dinner or other wedding events.
I start back at work in just under 2 weeks. I am excited about it. It just sounds like the best of both worlds - getting to work and earn some money while still staying home most of the time with Bacon. Work sounds totally jazzed to get me on the limited schedule I'm willing to work. I have no hourly commitments - no minimum hours that I need to bill; I'll be a straight hourly employee being paid at the rate of what my salary but benefits worked out to be. Sounded very fair to me. The nanny seems like she will be great. I'm so curious to see if it all works out as well as I think it will. I know that there's no way to know other than to try it, so I am excited to do so.
Today I bought a new lipstick for our trip. Such a small thing, but it was so nice to know that I wasn't contributing to digging a financial hole for us by doing so. I'm going to get paid really soon!
D is interviewing for a new position with his company. I hope it works out and turns into something he can really sink his teeth into without demanding crazy hours. With my new schedule, he'll be taking care of Bacon for about an hour and a half 3 mornings a week. I like the idea of them having dedicated alone time while she's actually awake. Usually, D sees Bacon for up to an hour in the morning, but I'm still taking care of her. He typically gets home right before she goes to bed and puts her down. His weekends in the new house have been primarily spent doing yard work or napping (which is totally understandable given her recent sleeping schedule). She's so great and it seems like he sees so little of her. I know this is how our Dads did it, but . . .
I'm looking forward to the trip for the chance to see family, hang out with D and enjoy Bacon with D and the family.
