Being a mom is turning out to be the hardest, most fulfilling job that a person could have. Right now I am a part-time student and full-time mom to Jacob. I never really thought that not working is actually harder than working a full-time job for a company.
Right now my wonderful sister is watching Jacob so I could got to a coffee shop and do some homework. Well, I started doing homework and class discussions online but other things started to happen. First I got a call from our leasing agent to talk about terms of the new house that we are moving into next week. After that I got back to reading my text book.Not more than five minutes later I get an e-mail from Jacob's Co-Hear coordinator, and she had a few questions for me that needed to be answered. I replied to that and then got back to my reading. About 20 minutes goes by and I get a call from Jacob's Early Intervention coordinator. She called to set-up and appointment for next week to meet him. She will be coming to our home once a week to have therapy sessions with me and Jacob.
I feel so grateful that my partner goes to work so I can help Jacob out with all of these appointments. It has been an little hard for me to grasp what having a deaf son comes with. You no longer get your own life, and your own appointments. I really can't go back to work anytime soon. Who else would make sure that he gets the proper care to grow and thrive?
