So many changes

With the thought of our baby's arrival I have been thinking about life and all of the new decisions that are needed to be made. As most of you all know I don't live the most normal of lives. I work all night three nights a week at least and then spend the other four days trying to catch up on all of my sleep and get back on a day schedule. I eat and sleep at all hours of the day and night. Although, this was an okay lifestyle to live when it was just me I had to worry about now I have this beautiful little baby to think about. I enjoy my job in the Pediatric ER and words can't describe how much I love all of my friends at work. However, I needed to make some changes and I have decided to transfer to the Pediatric Pre OP and PACU department (for all of you that don't know, that's taking care of kids before and after surgery). My manager wants me to spend most of my time in the PACU (post surgery) area. Since I have such horrible separation anxiety, I'll be picking up shifts in the ER to keep my skill up and keep close with all of my friends. With this will come new hours, new coworkers, and lots of new knowledge. So many changes in my life, yet everything seems to be making sense. After my orientation to the unit my new hours will be 1pm-11pm four days a week. This way, hopefully Matt can take care of baby in the afternoon and evening time while I'm at work. This may be tricky, but for some reason I'm not too anxious about it. I know it will work itself out. Speaking of changes, I have noticed some very big changes in the size of my tummy lately. It's so amazing to look down and see real evidence of the life that is being made inside of my body. I can still button my jeans but it's not the most comfortable feeling and many days I wear my Bella Band (basically a band that goes around the top of my jeans so I don't have to button them). It's the most comfortable thing ever, and I don't have to wear pregnancy jeans yet! I know it's just a few short weeks away but I'm putting it off as long as possible. I know I'll get sick of wearing elastic banded pants at some point.
