On Tuesday we found out Geiger has feline diabetes. By Thursday, I had learned to give him insulin injections and started administering those. On Wednesday, I turned in my resignation letter at work and fired the nanny. It was only a coincidence that those things happened on the same day. The previous week I had told my supervisor that I would be resigning my position. I had agonized for a couple months on every work and childcare scenario. I had even started working 80% time (28 hours a week) a couple months ago. When it comes down to it though, even 28 hours is too much and I know I will never actually work 28 hours. I want Henry to have a mom who isn't stressed out and totally beat at the end of the day. It has been especially hard now that David is working long hours so I think my decision is not only good for Henry but for David and me. I am really looking forward to being with Henry and raising him. One day a couple weeks ago when Henry was having a very fussy day, I thought, what am I thinking giving up work!!! I am giving up having a nanny and a housekeeper (I thought this and laughed b/c I would give up everything to be with my little guy). So, we had quite a week. O, yeah! We also got a new car and it's our first NEW car too. AND, on Saturday David gave Henry his first haircut. He looks like a little boy! It is very cute!
