Geriatric / “advanced maternal age” got insurance to cover any and all tests I wanted! The label made me have some feels, but ultimately it saved us some $$

I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place. I’m 34 not happy with my earnings after being in this field since 18. I can’t seem to advance even though I’m educated and experienced. I could go back to school for nursing and do well. School would probably take 2-3 years. My goal is to have a great career and not struggle financially. Now my husband who is 46 says let’s have a baby. Going to school will delay or potentially turn into me not having the family I always wanted. I feel I have to choose.

Planning to move back to our hometown before the baby is due which would make me about 6-7 months (move in April, due date is early July).

Did anyone else adopt the new Florida Wonders curriculum? We just adopted it this school year, and I teach 4th grade. My team and I have not found a good flow, schedule, or whatever you want to call it. We feel like it teaches too many skills in one lesson, and we are not able to truly teach anything “deep” enough for students to master. Does anyone have any insight? What do you do? Do you like the curriculum? Why or why not? Would you be willing to share what you do weekly/daily? Thanks!

Anyone experiencing depression? I did a self assessment, and scored 2.5/5. Extreme fatigue, loss of joy and some level of loss of appetite ( not really experiencing prolonged sadness and trouble sleeping). If you are, are you seeking professional help? I’m 12 weeks pregnant. Had one serious depression episode during week 7, but has been getting better since. This week I feel like I’m getting back into the darkness again though. Is this gonna get better past trim1 or not really?

I’d like to be more proactive about toddler psychology, what’s to come and how to react/ teach. TY!
