Oh working...
Ok...I've always wanted to be a stay at home mom...haven't really ever WANTED to work but found a job that was perfect for me over 4 years ago WORKING with kids. I work a daycare for medically fragile kids and a pediatric home health agency. for 2 1/2 years I just worked in the daycare...now I am in the office and sub in the daycare when they need help. Always loved this job...never wanted a new one. It kinda filled the void of being a mom and staying at home and didn't seem like "real" work. Until now! Now that I AM a mother...this job doesn't do it for me anymore. I use to come in early...stay till we closed...now I never make it on time and can barely WAIT to get out as soon as I can. I spend most of the day thinking about Grace...wondering how she is...if she misses me...if she's crying...if she's been changed...Is she being held a lot...is she gonna do something for the first time and IM gonna miss it. Working at a daycare...I have seen that happen one too many times...sometimes we don't TELL the parents so that we don't make them sad that they missed it. I don't want that...I want to experience everything first with her. The daycare she is at is AMAZING...don't get me wrong. I love all the people there and trust them all...its just that I want her with ME. Hopefully...soon...I will be able to be a stay at home mommy. and I totally could. Some people say they couldn't...they'd get bored...not me. Plus our house is messy enough I would always have something to clean lol!! Anyway...my job use to be everything I needed but now that I have gotten everythign I have wanted (a baby) the job just kinda doesn't matter. I do love my coworkers...and of COURSE the kids. They are the main reason I can get through a day there. Be able and go get a big hug or kiss. They yell my name. That makes it worth it...but yet I still think of Grace...and would give it all up just to be home with her. So yeah...just felt like writing about that. Oh and things are looking good for us to be able to adopt!! :-) yay!!

I totally understand. I went back to work when Braelyn was born for four weeks and was like I can not do this! I spent the next few months just leaving her to finish up my degree. I HATE leaving my kids and I am so glad to be home with them now. Nobody can take care of a child like their mother can :)
I am so excited for you and John finally getting to have a precious baby in your home and I hope you get to keep her forever!! I will be praying for her to be yours for good and that soon doors will open for you to be a full time mommy :) You are too sweet for words, Brenna. Little Miss Grace is one LUCKY little girl!
Hopefully, in about four months---:) You can stay at home. I sure pray for that too. No one can love her like you can. Even her Nonni. :)
Hey, I know all this is up in the air right now, but are they going to be hiring for the job if you quit? Because I am looking for a full-time job for after I graduate this May, and I am interested in data entry type stuff, and it sounds like that may be what you do kind of. But I was just wondering if i should be thinking about applying for your job if you did end up being a stay-at-home mom? And what exactly it is that you do, am I right that it is similar to data entry type stuff? Also, did you need to have experience in that type of job in order to get it? If you want to email me, my email is jer04b@acu.edu or just send me a message on facebook. Thanks!
