8/4 in --

I got a new job. I am a graduate research assistant for the division I’m a student in at my university. I’m nervous because, well, early pregnancy is no joke, and with starting a new job there will be new things I have to remember and do. I’m nervous that I’ll mess something up because my brain is mush and I’m tired and sick all the time. I’m sure it’ll be fine.

They also don’t know I’m pregnant… and I’m due the month before my contract is up in May. I’m not entirely sure what to do about that. I guess I’ll need to eventually make sure they know. I’m not ready to disclose it yet, especially since the pay is better than my last job and they’re going to pay for 6 credit hours of my tuition for each semester.

My son had surgery on his umbilical hernia yesterday. It was nerve-wracking but he did great and we are home today resting. He’s playing and acting normal, which is awesome. I wanted to take the kids school supply shopping on Sunday, so I think we will do that.

I have so much going on next week – I’d better mentally prepare for the amount of exhaustion I’m going to feel!
