24 Weeks

This week I started back to school.  Thankfully this week was just for staff development...no kiddos so I had a week to get adjusted to getting up early and being at work all day. Monday and Tuesday were pretty easy but Wednesday I was already hitting snooze on the alarm clock. Friday night all I wanted to do was crawl in bed and sleep. Hopefully this week will prepare me for next week and the first graders will be easy on this old preggo.

Also new this week...I no longer own a single pair of jeans that I can button, so I sported the maternity pants for the first time at school.

I've been looking for child care for a few weeks now and getting recommendations wherever I could.  I want something small preferably an in home child care as opposed to a day care.  Several of the recommendations I've gotten won't take children until 7am which is too late since school starts at 7:30 and I'd have to drop Maddox off and get to school before then.  Several teachers I have worked with have had one woman watch their child and she has been highly recommended.  Garrett and I interviewed her on Thursday and it went really well.  She was really friendly and great with the children that were there.  I haven't really been too stressed about child care until the day before we met with her.  I feel like regardless of who it is I won't trust anyone as much as I do myself or Garrett.  However, I know it's the norm for children to be in some kind of child care and the exposure to other children is really a good thing. We've decided that we will just continue to pray over it this week and possibly look for somewhere else to interview.
