Maternity Leave=Donezo

Friday was my last day of maternity leave. Wait what! I had a total of about 7.5 weeks off of work to spend with Reagan and it has been amazing. I will say though that I am going stir crazy and have been driving Matt insane. The weather hasn't helped much. We try not to take her out too much in the cold or wind (obviously) and it seems like that either it has been super cold, super windy or snowy and crappy like every other day. I mean I can only go to Wal-Mart so many times before going crazy!

Thursday I went to Columbus to take a test to become a licensed broker.  You have to get a 70% to pass. However, there are 2 parts to the test and you have to get a 70% on each part. So I got a 70% overall but failed one of the sections with a 69%. Seriously 1 FREAKING POINT! I'm not sure if I will have to take both parts again or not I'm waiting for a call back. So of course I needed to drown my sorrows in some shopping. Old Navy is having a baby sale and I got some super cute clothes for Reagan. I could have done some serious damage but kept it to a minimum. Then I finally got to go to Babies R Us. I got some items for pumping, some new bottles and then I hit up the clothes. Gosh so many choices! I got her another dress for church and Matt asked me if I had enough dresses for church. I said well for now until I go and get her an Easter dress. Mom and I also need to dig out my baptismal gown to see if it will fit or if we need to get one for her.

So tomorrow is the big day but I love the sitter she goes too and Reagan seems to like it (as much as a 2 month old can I guess!) So wish me luck and I will let you know how it goes.

  2. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow as you move onto the next phase! Good luck! As for the dresses for church...you gotta soak 'em up while you can, because when little Miss starts crawling, you'll probably have to have a dress break :) I can find any way to support someone's shopping habits!

  3. Good luck tomorrow :). I totally understand how you feel... Henry is only 3 weeks old but I must get out every day-even if its just walking the dogs or running to target. It is a balancing slack because I try to time my outings between nursing sessions. And I agree that if the weather would be nicer, it would be so much easier!
