Took the weekend off due to traveling – went down to Indianapolis to visit my sister and her crew.  We hadn’t been there in awhile, it was an awesome visit!  And Nyima did great on the trip, slept the whole way there and back, and hardly cried at all while we were there.  She was too busy looking at all the new faces and listening to our conversations!

I think the childcare thing is set, our friend is going to watch her in the mornings and we have the girl from the Child Development program coming in the afternoons.  We’ll see how it goes!  I keep telling myself that my boss works from home and has kids, and so do  lots of people that I work with.  So if things don’t work out for some reason and we have issues with childcare that would mean I’m taking care of the baby and working somedays she’ll understand.  I’m also hoping I don’t get put on a project right away so I have a few weeks of downtime before the insanity starts.

I feel bad for my sister, she’s going through infertility issues too.  It seems her issues are more on her end, which I think makes it more difficult.  She’s going to the same fertility clinic that we went to to have Nyima.  I hope things work out for her…she has a 3-year old daughter, but would really like for her to have a sibling.  We were talking this weekend about our expectations for how our lives are going to be, and when a wrench gets thrown in those plans how disturbing it can be.  I totally understand…I always thought I’d be the 2.5 kids stay at home mom.  I never thought we’d have fertility issues, that I’d be the main breadwinner.  For awhile I had a very hard time dealing with it, and Jason and I seperated for awhile in part so I could hash out my new life roles.  But I wouldn’t change my life now for anything, so it all works the way it’s supposed to in the end.

We’re going to a place downtown that is showing the Obama inauguration tomorrow.  That should be pretty fabulous.  I’m very happy that Nyima was born in such a period of excitement after he was elected. 

I’m not feeling very write-y today, this all feels forced.  But I did it, so I’ll count that as a plus.
