Asher starts another semester of school today...its not going to be fun for either of us. He has classes 4 evenings a week, which means he leaves every morning at 4:30 and won't be home until after 7 in the evening. He is beginning this just 8 weeks before our precious baby is due to arrive, our first, which will make it that much crazier. I'm trying my hardest to not let my anxiety over this crazy schedule show because I want to be as supportive and encouraging to Asher as possible, I know its not going to be easy on him. As a way to spend a little extra time together, I am getting up with him at 3:50 to keep him company while he gets ready and have a little breakfast with him. This semester will definitely test us, but I know it will be worth it. Asher will be that much closer to his degree (even though there is still many more semesters to go), and he is doing it while solely providing for our family which is something to be proud of. Thank goodness for family and friends close by, we will definitely need their help through this crazy semester and period of adjustment to parenting.

I feel your pain. Aaron left at 6:30am came home for maybe an hour around 5 then left for school til 9 or 10 pm FOR 3 YEARS! 4 or 5 days a week depending on the semester. My advice: Find good hobbies, make lots of play dates, and go over to your mommy's house a lot.(if she is close) :-) Im sure Hilary would love to have you go 'play' with her. It is really worth it in the end. Good Luck!
