First post

Today is my first day as an unemployed soon-to-be, stay-at-home mom. What does it feel like? I suppose it hasn't hit me yet that I don't have to go into work on Monday. One part of me is elated that I no longer have to be connected to my cell phone, worry about a lifeguard not showing up, and happy that if I wanted to, I could sleep until noon (yes, I know, I'm sure the baby will NOT allow that...). However, the other part of me is sad to leave everyone at the Y behind, and every bit of authority I used to have.

But I'm also worried...scared...eager...excited (choose from one of the following), about what my life will be like when baby Pilger decides "it's time" and arrives. Will it be everything I had hoped it would be? Or will I regret the decision to stay at home full-time. Will we starve because we aren't making enough money on Joe's salary? Or will we just eat alot of tuna casserole and spaghetti. Regardless of what happens, I know that this is right. I know it will be hard and there will certainly be times that we are struggling, but I know that God will provide what we need and that this is the best thing for our child and our family. Do I sound confident enough? I'm trying...

So I am excited to start this blog. It's a chance for me to exercise my mind and keep all of you updated. It's my journey into motherhood, our trek into parenthood...this should be interesting!
