I feel for you. My best friend, a fellow notary just had "TRIPLETS" yesterday. I was at the hospital to see her and I got to see the babies before she did. And she has 4 at home ages 9 months to age 7. Her mother-in-law lives with them and is a big help. They were also in the middle of moving to a bigger house when she went into labor. She was scheduled for a cesearan on 12/5. Things never go as planned. The babies will be in the hospital for 3-4 weeks after she goes home, so she is hoping to be able to work during that time.

same here, my baby is now 4 months old. it's hard for me to prepare for a signing especially if it has to be done in less than two hours. i have to print and put the docs together, get myself ready and in my case, get my baby ready to be dropped off at a friend's house.

I spoke to Tanya yesterday, didnt know she had those babies until I called her. This is one fantastic woman. She did a signing for me a few days ago.... we love her, and she is one fantastic signing agent.


we are so proud of her!

I trained Tanya when she first started and she is great. Whenever I can't take a signing I refer them to her and she also tells people to call me if she can't do it. I felt good because she told me that she learned more with me in one day than she ever learned from the NNA.

Welcome to the world of parenthood! You will get good at planning for contingencies. Wait until the sleeping baby (or otherwise occupied kid gets her Mom/dad is in the bathroom radar.
I had 3 kids go through chicken pox one after another.....it lasted 8 weeks and I was a full time college student and working single parent. You get good at it. Hopefully they thank you at some point.
