So, here is how it all went down:
- Awesome job as a legal secretary. LOVE it! Literally LOVE it!! I find the law so interesting (heck! planned on being a prosecuting attorney until I changed my major in college) and here was a great chance to bea part of it - and not have to pay, but BE paid!
- Two weeks after starting said Awesome job found out that I was pregnant YEAH!!!!!!
- Told Awesome Boss at Awesome Job "I'm pregnant". Awesome Boss says, "I don't want to lose you! Please say you will come back after having the baby. You can bring the baby to work with you I don't care!"
- Take up Awesome Boss at the Awesome Job with this Awesome Opportunity. I really felt very lucky to have a boss so willing to do that. Plus I felt I could have the best of both worlds and once Awesome Baby starts to crawl around, I would just stay home.
- Awesome Boss says that he would be willing to pay half of the child care for Awesome Baby if I stayed at the Awesome Job.
- April 23rd Awesome Baby arrives and I am just in constant awe.
- Go back to Awesome Job, with Awesome Baby and feel like it's all awesome, but would rather stay at home.
- Awesome Boss turns to me after our first day, "Would you rather be at home?" I reply, "Yes". He responds, "Do you want me to find a replacement?" and I say, "Yes"
- Go home to tell my Awesome Husband that I'm retiring to stay home and ask him what he thinks. His response, "I went to college to get a job so my wife could stay home with our kids. If you want to stay home - I'm fine with that." Awesome Husband gets alot of points for that!!
- Awesome Boss finds me an Awesome Replacement (a former legal secretary who needs no training - Awesome!) and tells me "I will miss you alot, but I think you are doing something more important." .....how awesome is that?!? So grateful to have such a supportive boss!!
- Friday July 9th was my first day as a SAHM and I would have to say it's all....pretty Awesome!
