So today was the day that I finally talked to my boss about working part time. Adam finally became comfortable with me making a lot more money so we could save more, especially since we're hoping to be KTFU ASAP! The talk went well, and she said that if I needed to come back full time, I could, and to tell Adam not to worry, my job was safe.
I'll be on Adam's health insurance starting January 1st, so that is taken care of. I won't have PTO, but hopefully we'll be able to save enough that I'll be able to take a few months of for maternity leave. I was super nervous about talking to her and i forgot half of what I wanted to say, but it's done and hopefully this other path will work out in our favor. I wanted to tell her that I get stressed out when I'm at work and I go home worried that I've done something wrong and that it is just too stressful for me right now. But I forgot.
As Adam says, with risk comes reward. Let's hope it's a big reward.
"You know my name, not my story. You've heard what I've done, not what I've been through.
If you were in my shoes, you'd fall the first step."
