I finally did it!

I vowed that when I became a Stay at Home Mom I would start my own personal blog. As a Working Mom, I felt that I never had anything interesting to post. "Today I went to work. I saw Aurora for twenty minutes before putting her to bed. I feel guilty." That would have been it--every day. No one wants to read that.

Well, when I went to see my OB on April 19, she said, "I would feel better if you stopped working." My blood pressure has been high this entire pregnancy (again) so I knew this would be coming, but I didn't expect it this early! I was extactic--but had to go back to work and pretend this was going to be tough. Tough for them, that is. Pilot season was just beginning and another of my coworkers had just moved the previous Tuesday. With me gone, it left one guy to do the work of three. But my boss was understanding and I packed up my things and went home.

So after one week of being a full time SAHM, I have to say that I love it! I can't understand why women would choose to work. Sure it's hard sometimes (and I can only imagine it's going to get worse in a few months) but compared to the stress of balancing work and home and never being good at either, I'm happy to take this path. I feel like a completely different person. Let's just hope my blood pressure goes down so I don't have to go on bed rest!
