Unplanned Vacation!

Well, today begins my little "unplanned vacation" from work. Unfortunately, I have a high number of students in my classroom who are out sick with the flu. Yesterday it was 1/4 of my entire class!!! Two of the 6 six that are out have been tested and confirmed with the H1N1 flu! Dr.Sherwood, our school nurse, and Dr. Atwood, my obgyn, both suggested I stay home for a few days and not continue to directly expose myself and the baby to the germs.

I have mixed feelings about the days off because I am missing time with my students and also I am using my sick days that I have been collecting for 3 years for my maternity leave. I had collected a total of 46 sick days to use during my maternity leave, but now I am going to be using a few unplanned. Although everyone has told me to not worry about days because it is more important that I stay healthy! I do agree.

So the agenda for the next two days:
-start registries on Babies R Us and Potterybarn Kids
-complete guest list for my baby shower in December
-continue my search for nursery bedding :)
-go to the library and get some prenatal yoga, etc videos (my back is killing me!!!)
-rest, relaxing, fluids, etc as recommended by my Doc
-any other suggestions?
