11/7/11

I really feel like this is the week. My back and my hips are hurting a lot. I just have this feeling that I'll be calling Bryan one of these nights telling him that I won't be in in the morning.

Diana Normand from NewsChannel 7 is ready. She's going to be filling in for me during the 9 weeks that I'm off. She is going to be great. She's got a fun and bubbly personality so I have no doubt her voice will be a nice one for you to wake up to. She's been in a few times to see what this show is all about. She's going to have some early mornings on days that she works, but she's young she'll be fine.

I've got the rest of my job covered thanks to Luke Manley, Bryan Scott and Joe Cassady. I think everything will be fine while I'm away. I always get a little nervous when I have to rely on other people to do my job. I feel like I have systems in place to get things done that I can't really teach other people. I'm not a control freak, or at least I try really hard not to be. I know everything will be fine even if it isn't done my way.

Did you struggle with being away from work before you took maternity leave?

When do you think she'll get here? Click this link to place your bet on the Guess the Arrival Calendar and you could win a $50 gift certificate to the Talent Shop inside the new Goodwill in Rib Mountain, a pair of 4 day passes to Country Fest in Cadott, and an overnight stay and waterpark passes to the Grand Lodge by Stoney Creek http://wdez.com/nikkis-guess-the-arrival/
