My husband is in the second week of his new job. He learned today that in two weeks, his work schedule will be 3:30 PM to midnight. He gets Sunday and Wednesday off. I work from 8:30 AM to 5 PM. I get Saturday and Sunday off. This means that we pretty much won't be seeing each other throughout the week.
We only have one car, and at the moment we can't figure out how to make the shift change work unless I stay up until midnight to pick him up from work, which means less than 7 hours of sleep for pregnant me (i.e. NOT gonna happen).
Another possibility would be for me to stop working and just get used to his schedule and a smaller paycheck. But wee were hoping to save up a little money until the baby gets here, when I'll stop working for good, Lord willing.
Have any of you been in this situation before? Do you have any advice? How do you work out meals, car rides, etc.? Should I stop working?
(Oh, and pray that they decide to change his shift hours. That is a possibility in the future.)
