It's official...
I am going to be a Stay At Home Mom once Colin arrives in January 2012!!! I am so excited and so nervous about this major decision. I have worked and had my own money since I was 15 years old. I told my boss today and he took it really well - he said he felt like it was coming. I may still work for him on nights and weekends when he needs me and around John's work schedule. It is going to be tight - but we will not have a problem paying our bills - we will just have to cut back on extras. I hope I am able to be a good stay at home mom - the plan is to go back to work once Colin is about 18 to 24 months old. I would want to put him in daycare/school at that time because I think it will be good for him to learn and grow and learn to share and be around other children. I hope I can make some stay at home mom friends too. Onto the next chapter of my life - it sure is going to be a change.

Yea! Thats so exciting and its so great you can do that. I do highly recommend finding other Moms like you said...I have a group of 8 and they are a great support group and its so nice to get together with them.
That is SO awesome! I am very happy for you. I have enjoyed following your journey and have prayed for you from the beginning. So glad that God has blessed you and your little family. :)
You will never regret this decision!!! They are only a baby once and even being with Owen all the time I feel like I have missed and forgotten so much!!! Congrats honey!!! Colin is going to be a lucky and very loved little boy!!
That's exciting. I'm sure you will be a great mum! Pleased your boss was understanding. X
Yay! I get to stay at home too. It's so great. And, honestly, I haven't found it too difficult to cut back on the extras because things like going out to eat or to the movies would be too much of a hassle with our baby, even if the money was there! Enjoy it!
Also, I'm not sure how you feel about this kind of stuff, but I've bought a lot of baby items off craigslist, like the bumbo, exersaucer for CHEAP. And, I bought a ton of baby stuff here. It is definitely worth checking out. (so many of the clothes still had the originaltags on them!!)

Hooray! That's super exciting. I *love* being a SAHM. Yes, it can be mundane and repetitious (but that's not unlike most jobs I guess), and challenging, but no other job in the world is as rewarding! I love what jeanna said about not regretting this decision because they are only a baby for a short time!
I'm so happy this worked out for you! And I'm really glad you'll still have the option to fit in some work if you want to. I love my days home with my son but I'm not gonna lie, sometimes going to work on the weekends is a welcome break. :)
So happy for you!!!! Being a SAHM is what all of us that have fought so dang hard to get these children here deserve. I know you will love it and just love spending every day with you sweet little guy. Congrats!!
Yay! I'm very happy for you.
