Chapter 3: Baby!

Today I am linking up with Becky for Women Connect for the second time. Last year this was the very first link up I had ever done, and it was my second blog entry. I was pretty excited to read that she was hosting this again. I really enjoyed reading so many other women's stories the first time around.

Usually on Sunday I spend time relaxing after I come home from Church. Then around 7ish I start to get this dreadful feeling that the weekend is over and I am going back to work tomorrow. I have blogged before about how much I love my job and I do, I promise! I just don't enjoy waking up in the morning, more so now than ever! Today I am free of that feeling because I'm not going to work tomorrow. Yes it is a holiday but that's not why! I won't be going back Tuesday, or the next day, or the one after that, or next week, or next month, or in a couple, not in a year, NOPE I am off until I'm ready to go back.

Thursday was my last day of work and let me tell you it was hard to say goodbye. I am going to miss seeing my lovely coworkers faces everyday. And the kids, oh boy did they make me cry! Some of them did not understand that they were giving me a goodbye hug not just their daily hug. After a tearful hug session with the kids and my coworkers I made it out, took a deep breath and smiled because I am going to start the the most exciting job of my life. A job that not every mom has the opportunity to do, nor does every mom want to. I am going to be a stay at home mom. And my new coworker, my husband, well he is pretty amazing. He is going to be a great father!

I overwhelmed with JOY right now. I am looking forward to being a stay at home mom. I have an idea in my head what my life will be like but I'm not really too sure exactly what will happen. I have heard that it is the most rewarding experience and that is the hardest/best job you will every have. I was a teacher to toddler age children so I have an idea what I am in for a little later in life but not what the first few months are going to be like. Will I sleep? I have heard mixed things about sleep. Some say it depends on your baby, some say NOPE. I guess I will find out Will I get dressed daily? Yes! I will make it a point to get dressed in regular clothes everyday. Even if that means some days a pair of yoga pants and a shirt. I will comb my hair too! My normal get ready routine takes about 30 minutes from start to finish. I will find time daily to get ready. I am not sure what I expect but I am ready to figure it out.

I haven't quite decided how to incorporate my little man into this blog. He will definitely be a part of it, I'm just not sure how much detail. It is something I really have to think about and take my husbands opinion into consideration. Will I use his name? I'm not sure, if not he will have a really cool nickname. Will I post pictures? I think so. Will I write about him? Well yes of course!

A little fact you may not know about me is that I am/was a little paranoid about my life being on the internet. It is the main reason why I didn't blog in the first place. I debate how much of my life to share and what pictures to share. I know I can't be the only one who feels this way right?

I am realizing that chapter 3 is not just about baby, but discovering a whole new me as well!
