Wow it is ALL happening right now. I'm now into the second trimester, we now officially have under 6 months to prepare for the little addition, to what will now be our family.
We are building a house, and are just headed into the 'absolutely strapped for cash' phase of our lives, that will hopefully only last for 6 months or so, not that i think we'll be rich after that, but we should have some breathing room.
I have had to start considering options for work, since my manager wants to hold my job for me, but i'm just not sure if its going to work or not. I said i would need six months off, but am I going to want more? also my job is two shifts a week, plus extra call ins as i am casual, and work full days when one of the other tellers has an RDO. I won't be able to just come in when they need me.. So should I give the bank job the flick? its been really great working there. Probably the nicest, and cleanest, job i've ever had. But then, if i go back to kitchen work, which i DO enjoy, bubs won't have to go into child care. I could do thurs, fri and sat nights, and Nate would be able to be home with bub. Man its so overwhelming.
I'm also concerned about how it will change us as a couple.. I mean, we are truly best friends, and i'm sure nothing will ever change that, but then i think of this little person who is about to become number one to both of us. But can you have more than one number one in your life? :) I know i'm probably being silly. But its such a massive change to our current life, and it will change our relationship regardless. I'm sure it will change for the better, its just that any change can sometimes seem daunting.
I hope we will still be able to be silly together, and not be stressed. Thats all.
