So, I had this grand idea at lunch today that I was going to detail my pregnancy and delivery experience since I've read so many of them out there. Not necessarily that anyone wants to read it, but I think one day my baby might like to read the whole experience. And, it will be kinda cool to see in a few years after i've lost all the memories because my brain will be inundated with toddler issues like potty training and getting dirty and whatnot. But, then I got really busy and didn't have any time to start it. So, this is going to be a project for the weekend.
It's currently raining outside and that means my commute home is going to take twice as long. Bummer. I really want to be sitting in front of my fireplace with a cocktail and the two boys in my life! Soon enough...

I think you'll find people DO want to read it - but it's definitely a great way to keep record and such. :)
Ang is correct, people will want to read your birth story. I know I get completely engrossed in other womens stories. I wrote down the story of my son's birth only hours after he was born, while it was still fresh in my mind. I think I am going to have to make something up for my daughter, as I remember almost nothing, except the fact that I now have a SWEET 4 year old b-rat. LOL.
In my effort to make this the longest comment ever I am going to try to answer your question to me about being a SAHM. For us it was the right situation, when my husband got a job in another county and we had to move there was no one there I would have possibly trusted with my kids. Plus, I do not have the earning power that his new job gave him. I waitressed for years, and while I did make good money, it just did not seem like it would be worth it to pay a sitter. There would be almost no money left. Me being a SAHM is just part of the budget now. We bought a house last year when the market was still high and believe me, we compromised because if I was working the house would have been better/newer/in a nicer neighborhood, etc. Staying at home is a give/take thing. Some days I know it is worth it, other days I wonder why I still do it, are the kids benefiting from me being at home? I like to think so. If you really want to do it, you should sit down with your husband and your budget and see what bills you really need and what can go, what you think is worth letting go of. Maybe you can work part time to start off. Find the situation that is right for your family. Oh my gosh, this comment is way too long. email me paloma916 at yahoo dot com if you want me to talk more and more and more about it!
