March 12, 2012 - Interesting day. My doctor said he wanted me to have another 4 weeks off before going back to work instead of the 2 that was originally planned. I have mixed feelings about this. I'm thrilled to have more time with my kids and don't feel I'm ready to be up on my feet for 12 hours, but that means that we are going to have to start pinching some pennies. Don't have quite enough paid time for that.
