Today marks my new shift at work. Ever since I have been when the Sheriff’s Office I have been very fortunate to have 1st shift. Well 1st shift has not been my friend throughout my pregnancy. Although there are days, when I am sick all day most of it seems to be from about 4 a.m. until 8 a.m. So my ingenious plan was to switch to a shift where I can sleep through all my sickness. It sounds a little crazy but so far it has worked. I have been practicing the last four days and have really noticed a difference.
So far today has been good. I woke up around 7 but stayed in bed until about 8:30. Ben and I then got out of bed and made breakfast. It pretty much felt like a weekend. Since Ben is working from home now everyday for him is a weekend morning but now I can join him. One of the biggest things I have missed is sleeping in together and waking up and making breakfast. After breakfast I cleaned the house, watched a little tv, spent some time with my hubby making lunch and by then it was 1:30 and time to leave for work. The drive was nice; it consisted of no crazy morning traffic or carpool lanes, which helps a lot with stress reduction. Parking pretty much sucked, because our lot was full but luckily I found a reserved Sheriff’s only spot to park in. So now it is about 8:30 and although I miss my hubby like crazy, I feel great, (a word I have not used in a very long time) and it is almost time to go home. No more getting up at 5 a.m. for me, woohoo!!!
