We return to my OB’s office for another check. I am 7cm dilated so we go straight to the hospital. I am admitted immediately because my doctor has called ahead to let them know my status and that I am on the way. Our beautiful baby girl is in my arms by 9:30 p.m.
where we are tackling the ever-present taboo that is money. We’re asking real people how they spend their hard-earned money during a seven-day period — and we’re tracking every last dollar.
Growing up, what kind of conversations did you have about money? Did your parent/guardian educate you about finances?What was your first job and why did you get it? I became financially independent the summer after my freshman year of college because I worked a pretty high-paying internship. My parents still helped out here and there, but I didn’t ask for help often.I did not. My husband inherited about $40,000 from his grandmother in college and used that money to pay for whatever scholarships didn’t cover. He used the leftover money towards a down payment on a house and he helped me pay off the rest of my student loans.7:30 a.m. — T.
12 p.m. — I’m getting hungry but T. wants to take me out for a late lunch, so I make a snack of grapefruit juice and a cut apple with peanut butter. I then log back onto work but there isn’t much for me to do. I am so lucky that my job has been very flexible with my work situation, allowing me to work from home more as my pregnancy progressed. I honestly don’t have much to do at work at this point, because I have spent the past month transitioning all my responsibilities to my backup.
4 p.m. — T. picks me up for a short local hike. I feel enormous and am ready to get this baby out! We hike about a mile and a half and I’m exhausted by the end. On the way home, we stop at Fresh Market to buy fruit and end up leaving the store with chickpea pasta, pasta sauce, a baguette, and chocolate-covered blueberries as well as grapes, strawberries, and fresh blueberries. When we get home, T. makes the chickpea pasta with leftover chicken and I have the chocolate blueberries for dessert.
