ste_noniThat is me, now. I am a Stay At Home Mom.
I would have never predicted that this would be me. In fact, all things being equal, I'm not sure I would be. I *loved* law school and I was very excited about starting to practice. I've always known that Joe's army career would make it difficult for me, but I managed to finish school and I always figured that I would make work work as well.
Right now, there is no point even looking for a job because we will be moving in less than 6 months. Once we get settled in Puerto Rico, I plan to look for a job. Ellie will be a year old by then.
Regardless of my future desire for employment (and likely need to pay student loans), I'm enjoying my time home with Ellie right now. Not having to worry about school/the bar/whatever has really allowed me to relax and be patient with her. If she naps, fine. If not, no problem. I love breast feeding (something I also can't explain.) It's so nice for me to be able to adjust to her schedule. I really enjoy doing things for her and this has surprised me. I'm not the most giving person, but it's not work with Ellie. It's funny that I've heard my friends with kids say this stuff for years, but I finally get it now.
