I'm currently sitting in the waiting room while Adam is getting a procedure done. It's giving me time to reflect on my maternity leave...or rather, how I feel like I got screwed out of my maternity leave!
Maternity Leave: an employee benefit that provides paid or unpaid time off work to care for a child.
When I was planning my maternity leave in my mind it was full of napping with my baby, snuggling on the couch, and dancing around the house until daddy came home.
My actual maternity leave has been filled with...
27 hours sitting at the vet
3 appointments for Adam's Upper GI/Scope procedure
5 other medical appointments for Adam & I [sickness, check ups, x-rays, etc.]
3 pediatric appointments for Jordyn [Expected]
1 post baby appointment for me [Expected]
and endless hours of stress and headaches! Praise God I have a happy, healthy [read: easy!] baby who doesn't mind being schlepped around everywhere! :)
I call a redo!
