I demand
I worked 9 hours last Thursday. It was broken up, some in the day, some at night. My MiL watched Keats during the day, my Dad watched him at night. It was too much. Too much activity, stimulation, strangeness. For Keaton and for me. I realized that I don't want to work. I don't want him to be babysat for 8 hours a day. I'm just not ready.
So I've decided to be poor for awhile, to take only a few sessions at work a week and never sessions longer than 4 hours, and to supplement my income with my savings. I'll do this as long as I can, until I run out of savings for supplementing. Maybe not the best plan during a recession but I've spent my entire life being fiscally responsible and cautious and now I have to go with my heart.
I will never have another opportunity to be a mom to my Keaton as a baby.
So you see, it's a solid plan. No regrets.
Today we did post-natal yoga and it was a blast. I know I'm going to love playing in the world with my boy. When he's older we'll hit the Children's Museum. We'll take a trip to New York to see the Museum of Natural History. We'll play at the park. Life will be rich. Even if we're not.
