I'm really happy it's September again. Summer vacation for school is 2 months here in Belgium, July and August. So I had time off from teaching and driving the kids to and from school. Actually that was a good thing. I was so sick those 2 months from the pregnancy. I feel heeps better now although I still get sick in the mornings. But now I actually function again during the day.
So this week I started working again with the new school year. I'm not driving the kids anymore because I'm not immune for the CMV virus. I had to get tested for that and legally you can't work with children under the age of 6 when your pregnant and not immune for CMV. I miss the kids but it is what it is.
I am still teaching and started with 2 new groups this time. They're all adults, so no problem there. I love this job so much. It's so great to work with the students and get to know them. I hope I can finish this schoolyear which will end in June. The lessons are 1h 1/2 long, so when the baby is here next year I hope to just take him or her to class and have a quiet baby for that time. If that doesn't work out then I'll stop teaching. The job doesn't pay enough to put the baby in daycare.
I would actually love to work more hours and do some photography work again. I miss it. Nobody will hire a pregnant lady though, I would cost them too much and after baby is born I will be a stay at home mom anyways. But I still miss a fulltime job. Maybe I'm longing for it so much because the thought of being a full time mommy is overwhelming. It's the biggest job ever and you can never run from it and you better do your bestest best or you'll mess up the kid. Goodness, so much responsebility. A job seems so easy compared.
Carl & I are so on the same page when it comes to our views on parenting. He is so smart and knows excactly what kind of dad he wants to be, he's amazing. We talk a lot on the subject and we are always agreeing on almost everything. I so married the right man. He brings up a lot of things that he wants to do with the kids and I do the same. And through it all we always realize that we really married the best person out of the whole wide world. That's a great feeling. I always new waiting for the right man was gonna be worth it. Marriage is beyond amazing with him.
