Today is the day....I've finally hit the half way mark in this pregnancy!! I still can't believe this is really happening, then I get a nice swift kick to my guts to bring me to reality. Those little toes are too active. ♥☺
Most parents have dilemmas and these are some of mine...
They range from stressing out over kids clothes sizes....which I shouldn't have to worry about just yet...but I do. I worry about if I'm going to be a great mom. Will I cry if the baby is crying....see I'm nuts.
Here are some of the more important issues that are currently on our brain. My doctor has given me a due date in the 3rd week of January! I have a question for other moms that might happen upon today's post. Since I will be a first time mom, should I expect to deliver before or after my due date? I do plan on working until I can't waddle through the front door anymore. The Hubs has asked if I would like to be a stay at home mom......which I would guess is most moms wish to do. Don't get me wrong I so want to stay at home with baby, helloooo I'm not carrying a tiny human for almost 40 weeks just to have someone else take care of them. But, even though I want to stay home I feel guilty....why...because I wouldn't want to put all of the responsibility on the Hubs. Financially we are great, that's not the issue. It's hard to explain how I feel, I was raised by a single mom, who taught us to be very independent, so sometimes I want to take charge of things and situations. I have the most amazing husband, he has provided me with all of my needs and has given me most of my wants. I definitely have no complaints. I just feel that I am capable of working to provide for my family as well. I guess I'm just thinking too much. I have some decisions to make pretty soon. What do you think?
