I'm a frustrated devoted diariest (is that a word? oh well) who always has the urge to write when another certain website is down (I think we all know who I'm talking about...). So I went in search of a more reliable diary and found this place, yay! I plan to try keep up with both diaries in tandem, because I have some favorites that I can't bear to leave behind. I may leave a link here for anyone who wants a more detailed backstory to what I write. (unless anyone can tell me if I can upload a previous diary here? I couldn't find a way to do this).
I started my previous diary in January of this year, primarily to follow my journey while TTC (I had been TTC since September of the previous year). I became pregnant in February of this year, and miscarried in March. My husband and I were supposed to wait 3 months to start trying again, however we "accidently" started trying a month early, and became pregnant in May while I was "practicing" charting my cycle. I am now almost 27 weeks pregnant with our first child, a baby boy. We couldn't be more excited! He will be the first grandchild, and great-grandchild, and great-great grandchild on both sides of the family. This year has flown by; I can't believe how close we are to becoming parents.
I work part-time as a waitress right now, but will be giving my 4 week notice THIS WEEK!! I plan to stay home starting around Thanksgiving, as I am blessed to be able to become a housewife and SAHM. Although I need a little practice at being a good housewife, as I hate laundry and can't cook! I'm working on it though. (= I'm trying to work on being more organized, and hope that I can get the house in order before the baby gets here.. especially after I stop working.
I plan to continue recording my journey into motherhood, as well as my life in general. I'm happy to have found a new diary home! |
