'Deciding, while you're pregnant, whether you'll stay home or go back to work (and when) after baby is born is like choosing between a job you're familiar with and one you know nothing about.'
They couldn't be MORE RIGHT ON. Before Ethan arrived, I kept insisting I'd be back @ work in 4 wks as long as I was medically able to...ha...now as we cruise through week 5, I am full of dread as March 19th closes in on me.
The book goes on to say 'you may find that nothing you've ever done - including your job- has ever given you so much satisfaction as caring for your newborn does and you may postpone going back to work indefinitely.'
I would certainly be postponing indefinitely if it were an option for me. That would be a pretty easy decision to make anyway as I've never held a job that was remotely 'satisfying' to me...they've all just been jobs.
Still no word from the hospital and feeling more desperate everyday. I called up there though and left a message for one of the department managers with one of the open positions. Maybe if I'm lucky she'll at least call me back....gosh, I hope so.

Now they're just pissing me off! Surely, they can't have *that* many people banging down the doors to work graveyard!
Fingers are still crossed for you.
Nora-no doubt huh...I would think they would jump to interview me seeing that I'm interested in the night shift...heck at least to see if I'm a viable candidate...geesh!!
Dawn-thanks!!
Wow. That's kind of scary they were able to so accurately predict your feelings about going back to work and stuff. Guess some things just *are* universal.
I hear this from so mamy people and hope I get the chance to experience it!! and for you, I hope the hospital comes thru ASAP!!
Oh just move to Virginia! =)
