Stay at Home Mom

Well, I made it to Spring Break. It was chaotic at school for the last week of the quarter. I had to do grades and report cards as well as Parent/Teacher Conferences. I had a couple of late nights at work and a few late work nights at home. In the end, I had earned my two weeks off.

Since then, I've done some work for school, some work around the house, but mostly, I've just chased Ryann for days. She's awesome but what a handful! It's really exhausting for me in my enormous state. When I was pregnant for Ryann, it seemed so easy. Now, with a 2-story house, 2 extra house guests, an almost 2 year old, and a husband that works all the time, it's not that easy. Every afternoon, I wish Ryann would let Mommy take a nap. However, that is just not allowed. She's down to one nap a day and I have to use that time to catch up on housework or school work. Ugh! I love bedtime. :0)

So, I've decided that being a stay-at-home-mom is too much work. I love my baby girl but she exhausts me. Maybe I'll feel differently once I'm not a whale anymore. Then again, maybe it'll be worse because I have 2 to take care of. I guess I'll find out soon enough.

For anyone who's wondering, the tentatively scheduled birthdate is Saturday, May 2nd. That could change but we're going with it for now. I can't wait to see how Ryann likes her little sissy.
