Well, I did it...
I quit my job this week! After months of discussing, Alan and I decided that the best thing for me to do right now is quit my job and stay at home with the kids for a while. I have always thought that I wanted to stay at home while my kids were young or just work part time. I was looking for a change at work and with another baby on the way, we decided now was the time to do it. It was a much harder decision than I thought it would be. I've been at my current job for almost 10 years (my 10 year anniversary would be in January) and it was my first job out of college and all that I have known for the last 10 years. Plus I have made some really great friends there. But I think it will be worth it in the end for our entire family. I'll get that valuable time with my kids that you can't get back after they are grown. Plus they change so much, especially in that first year. There was a lot that I missed with Avery and I'm sure a lot of what we thought were some of her firsts at home had actually happened first at day care. So, I'm looking forward to spending the extra time with my kids and concentrating on watching them grow.
