This is going to be a dagger in my heart for so long. My mother in law is a great mom and is going to take care of him until I return to work. But I know that I should be doing it.
I am praying every day that the economy gets better and we can afford for me to stay home. Ugh!
I love Dr. Laura and she would chop my head off for the excuses I have for not staying home. But all I can ask for is prayer. Pray for me when you are praying. Pray that I will get to stay home some day SOON to raise Eddie.
I know living in california seems to be unmanageable for pretty much everyone I know, and I don't know your situation, but having lived there, and then 2 other states, I would actually seriously consider moving if you guys can. I know it's not easy and will be very complicated and initially expensive, but it will pay off and you may even find a very good school for Eddie to go to.
I hope you can stay home, and I realize that I am fortunate to have the luxury of staying home, but it's not without sacrifice, considering how much time john has and will be away, not to mention the stress he is put under. I don't think society/work place has allowed for households to survive on one person income anymore and it's sad. Fight it as much as you can!
I will pray for you to get to be with eddie as much as possible--I know I haven't been praying much or really anything spiritual, and I am getting ready to have lucas baptized so i feel guilty. I started reading up on the church last night and about the importance of prayer and in humility. I pray that we, parents, all are guided to make the right decisions and the conscience to know when we haven't. i am very concerned about tomorrow because we have decided to go along with all the immunizations, but there are many risks that not many people speak of. There is so much that goes into parenting and can never be put on pause; its such a huge responsibility and blessing.
Lucas is making me so happy right now because he is so smiley and really looking at my face and trying to talk. There is so much for us to experience yet and it's surreal still but great to feel like a true family.
