- May 24: take last final from 2-5pm, hop in car with JP and all my suitcases previously packed for 5 weeks in Texas, and begin the 17 hour drive down south
- May 25: continue the drive, must get to Houston before baby brother's high school graduation begins at 8:30pm
- May 27: move into wherever I'm living in Austin, JP flies back to Chicago
- May 29: start work at The Firm
- June 2: mom and I host bridal shower for family friend in Houston
- June 8-10: The Firm hosts "All Clerk Weekend" in Austin, JP gets flown down for the occasion
- June 16-17: different friend's wedding in Austin, I'm a 7.5 months pregnant bridesmaid, JP will fly down again
- June 23: my baby shower in Houston (hosted by the previously mentioned family friend's mom) and JP will be supervising our across town Chicago move
- June 30: JP flies down and we drive back up to Chicago where I am certain to be greeted with a huge disaster of boxes and furniture in our new apartment
- July 2: I start work at Chicago firm
- July 7: my family are all visiting (odds that we will be totally moved in and ready for visitors a week after we've moved and 5 days after I've returned to Chicago = very slim)
- July 14: first free weekend! time to prepare the apartment for the baby
- 3-4 weeks later: baby makes its big debut
Does this seem a little insane? At least the third trimester will go by really quickly...
I've been enjoying your blog. I'm a pregnant 2L and will be a summer associate this summer too. Have you started buying maternity suits? Also, are you worried about how attorneys you meet this summer will think of you as a pregnant woman?
ReplyDeleteJust to clarify - I mean: are you worried that attorneys will perceive you as not as serious as everyone else about your job because you're pregnant? I don't think this will be a major problem, but I can't help but wonder.
ReplyDeleteomg. I'm exhausted just reading about it.
