Then I take a weeks vacation (at home) and realize that I am not cut out to do that.<br /><br />I do not have the patience, nor the mindset to stay home all day. The people that do? Impress the shit out of me.<br /><br />Although it's hard, it will all work out just fine!Lindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01001887689493380499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-83995894561612427.post-87211834206852793092009-10-22T09:49:32.157-04:002009-10-22T09:49:32.157-04:00Hugs.

I've arranged to work 7-3PM, then I come home and watch the baby while Dan is at school. It's hard. There are some days when we both feel overwhelmed, but when we think of the alternative we are both in agreement that no one can love our baby like we do. It would be nice if your husband could hold off getting a job for at least the first 6 months...or find a night job? Think of the money you will save in daycare too.<br /><br />I hope all works out with your plans. I understand wanting to stay home with your baby. I had a hard time going back to work at 6 weeks even knowing he was home with Dan!MEGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05612825989119106586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-83995894561612427.post-48036865622081754472009-10-22T08:51:42.717-04:002009-10-22T08:51:42.717-04:00I hear you.
