Tiemessen claims that her days are a lot different since she arrived. “My entire schedule is planned around her. I have to plan my day around feeding her every two to three hours, changing diapers, and trying to get a nap in,” Tiemessen states.
Mrs. Tiemessen says that she actually really enjoyed her time while pregnant, even though it was crazy. Tiemessen continues, “I got morning sickness the first couple of months, but after that it was such an amazing feeling when she would kick and roll around in my stomach.” Tiemessen spent eleven hours in active labor, but says it was all worth it in the end.
Coming back to work after Tiemessen’s maternity leave was a tough transition. “I had spent the past seven and a half weeks only feeding, changing diapers, and trying to get a nap in. That was a huge change of pace when I actually had to function outside my house.” Tiemessen says she also found it challenging knowing that all of her students and co-workers had settled into a routine, and she’s been struggling to get into hers.
Although while she is at work, she always knows her daughter is in good hands at the daycare down the road from theirs in Denver. She says, “Being a mom is wonderful. I love watching her grow and learn each day. Being able to have children is such a special gift, and I cherish every moment.”
