From December 19, 2008 to January 19, 2009 I went from being a 6th grade English teacher to a Stay At Home Mommy/Chauffer to my daught
ers Gabi and GiGi.
ers Gabi and GiGi. The bell rang at 3:45 p.m. on December 19th and like all the other teachers and students I thought I was going home for two weeks of peace and quiet with my family. Then, I discovered I was 2 1/2 months pregnant! Then, Gabi was admitted to the hospital totally dehydrated, malnourished, and miserable. She weighed 19 pounds when she was admitted. She is up to 28 pounds now and recently celebrated her 4th birthday as a normal, happy little girl!!! Over the next 22 days, Gabi had an NG-tube inserted, then a G-tube placed surgically, and ultimately a Chiari Decompression after being diagnosed with Chiari Malformation. http://www.asap.org/
After Gabi was discharged from the hospital on January 19, 2009; GiGi had out patient surgery to place her 3rd set of tubes in her ears!
Gabi's schedule is OT/PT on Tuesdays and Thursdays, Speech Therapy on Fridays, and other doctor's appointments in addition to my own prenatal and high risk specialist appointments. I'm 25 weeks along now and tire easily, but still going. The decision to come home full time was a no-brainer. I also decided to pursue my candle business full time through vendor booths as the opportunities came. Whew, am I tired!
