Aa
life changing event!!!
As we all r ready n anxious to welcome our bundle of joys, I am eager to know how this new person is going to change your life's? As in what will you have to sacrifice or amend in your routine?
Graduating out of nursing school at a later time than scheduled, sleep, work, and it's going to be all worth it in the end!
Wish even I can take a year off. Can't do that. Motherhood is difficult..will have to get in sync with it
I'm taking a year off to raise my lil one! I only have two yrs left for my BA degree. I will have to sacrfice sleep and social life. But that's all part of motherhood
I m sure u will be able to deal with the situation for sure. We are fighters n will win
I see things for my hubby and I changing more drastically. Not to be mean but he is pretty self centered with his time and money...we r married but have separate accounts as I am paying off debt from being young and dumb and 8 don't feel he should have to pay for that. We will split all costs as far as our baby is concerned.
I'll be in charge of drop off and pick up for daycare so that will mean leaving even earlier for work. I am self employed soy hours will have to change. I work 1/2 hr away from home and our sitters are right up the road. It wouldn't pay for my hubby to drive the extra 1/2 hr to pick her up so I will take care of it. There are nights I work til 10pm so I'll cut those back to 8pm. He goes in at 7 am and works til 6 or 7pm. It will be a bit crazy adjusting at first but we will get use to it. ;) It's all in God's hands and he NEVER gives us what we can't handle!

Oops my stupid phone posted the same thing twice.. lol..I m happy too. But as my due date is coming closer I lots of anxieties have surrounded me.
I guess pregnancy makes us more responsible
I am 4 weeks and it will be my first baby..I'm super duper stoke and happy can't wait to meet my little one...it's all in gods hands now :)
Pregnancy makes us a little more responsible I guess..
I'll have to find a better job. I want to study something, because my part time job just won't do. I want our own apartment. I don't want to struggle anymore.
These sacrifices come so naturally
Lot of adjustments must say...
I'm hoping to be able to afford to be a stay at home mom-if that doesn't work out, I'll be changing jobs to find a 2nd or 3rd shift, part time position so we don't have to pay for childcare (which would be more than half of my current monthly paycheck).
I haven't yet decided if I will be going back to work full time or part time yet, but that will be my biggest change. My husband and I still plan to have alone time together and do things just the two of us every now and then. We are thinking for our 5 year anniversary going away for a week or so just the two of us. We love to travel and by then baby will be almost 2.
My biggest change will be adjusting my 3 y/o daughter to not being my one and only every day... Hopefully starting preschool a month after he comes will help
All the sacrifices r worth it... I m Lucky have my mom to help so can continue work
No more working for me im so used to hving my own its hard to just depend on hubby for every thing till baby gets bigger but I want to enjoy her home..
My son has only 100% enriched my life :)
Although i miss having alone time withy Husband but there is plenty of time for that and for now we have family time :)

I feel like this little one will simply make my life brighter and just add good on an already wonderful life :) He was planned and very much wanted.But other than that Im eager to see how my husband and I will be as parents :)
I'd like to breastfeed until the baby is a year but as long as I possibly can works be great!
U get really tied up when u r breast feeding. For how many months r u planning to breast feed?
I know and I feel bad cuz now I can't volunteer to go help in my kids classrooms or field trips cuz I'll have the baby and I plan on breastfeeding so there's no way. Also when I see other mom's with babies I look at them and think oh goodness I'm starting all over again now I'll know all the little shows again
It's only now we realize how much we have to sacrifice for our kids. Trust me this is just the beginning
Finally when I have me time too with both kids in school I have to start all over LOL
