starting and stopping work
Z is just over 8 weeks old, so I should have four weeks of motherhood-bliss ahead of me. However
- the state of maternity leave in the United States is terrible. I could have four more weeks off, if I didn’t want to be paid for it.
- we could probably manage to live without four weeks of my paycheck, but I’m nearly as frugal as my brother Brian, so I don’t want to.
So I’m working a few days a week until I’m back full time when he is 12 weeks old. Sigh. On the days that the Mr. has off, I go into work, otherwise I work from home. This is not full time, this is more like one day spread out among two days of the week. So mostly I’m still being a mom, but sometimes I’m being a systems analyst. And sometimes, when I breastfeed at the computer, I’m both.
And the Mr. gave his two weeks’ notice today, so that we can have a little more practice of me leaving and pumping breastmilk and having him practice being Mr. Mom before I start work full time.
