Dinosaurs are Fun... But Wouldn't Make Good Developers
Hi baby, happy Friday!
Itâs been another busy week for us, in that we've done more work clearing, sorting, and organizing the house, but otherwise, Iâm sad to say I donât have much excitement to write to you about.
Weâre still on the lookout for fabrics and decor for your room, although I did find a cute dinosaur assortment at Target the other day that I think could be fun.  When we went back today, it was sold out, but we did pick up this âROARâ pillow instead. Trust me that it looks and feels even better in person. At this point, I REALLY hope you like dinosaurs, because we've got plans that we aren't backing out of now.
I am finding it strange to think about how soon you are going to be here. Â We both feel oddly prepared for your arrival (even though itâs clear we still have a lot to do), yet still can barely believe how quickly the time has flown.
We are now interviewing candidates for a new developer position at my job to make sure that someone will be reasonably trained and ready to work by the time I go on maternity leave, as itâs only 2 months away.Â
I hope you enjoyed giving your first interviews. Â I got a silent chuckle out of every kick you gave me during the process, imagining that you were giving me little hints as to what you liked about each person. You seemed to believe that strong technical skills are important for this job. IÂ agree, baby, and I think you have good taste.
Part of me feels like there is no way I am going to have everything ready in time for me to leave, but I know I will do what I can and work really hard to keep the "baby brain" at bay and stay focused. I won't lie, there are some days when I feel like I am struggling with basic math, and have moments of panic because I forget things and misplace my keys. Â Regardless, In just over 2 months time I will be home with you, and will have a whole new set of problem solving challenges to face. I'm super excited for this, baby. It's going to be the most important job I'll ever do, and I promise I won't take it lightly.
Love, Mom
