17-3-2009 - Almost graduation time...

My mood while writing this blog: bored

---

Thought I would write one of these blogs and keep folks up-to- date on my going ons.

I am now at 18 weeks, WHOOT! This pregnancy is going so smoothly compared to when I was pregnant with my son! Sometimes I don't believe I am really expecting! It's all going well, nothing to worry about. Guess I'm just not used to not worrying. I am a bit of an obsessive worrier... which often results in a great deal of stress. My Dr. says often that I need to CALM DOWN and not worry and get myself worked up so much. My hubby is a doll, he is always trying to help smooth things over and keep my stress to the absolute minimum.

In exactly 52 days I graduate from college. (May 9th, 2009) I am so glad that I am finally finishing up with my schooling, for now. Who knows, I may go back when my new little addition is a bit older. I will be getting my B.F.A. in Visual Arts/ Photography from Marshall University. Seriously, I have been in school for this for 6 years now. About time to get out of there! I'm so worried about what comes next. It is really hard to find any jobs out there currently. My husband is having to work 2 jobs, and we are STILL scrapping by. We can hardly pay our bills and he is looking for something that will pay more. Problem is though, I'd hate for him to leave a job he loves, not to mention has security in keeping, without a guarantee of finding another one.

What to do? Right now, I'm focusing on finishing my schooling, focusing on having a happy, healthy baby and not getting as stressed out.

Hope you are all doing well. I love to meet new people and especially other mommies.

My sister was dealing with something similar to that. She and her husband just had a baby and he's working like crazy to just get them by...she is a stay at home mom with my Niece (5 years old) and now my new nephew...she's picking up a day care gig...she's watching a little boy and girl to help with the money but still allow her to be home...
Just a thought!

It feels wonderful to graduate from college. I graduated with my BA in 2007 and its amazing to know that I have that ... especially before becoming a mom. I always felt that the greatest gift I could give my children and husband was an educated mother/wife. I am so happy that I can say I've been successful in that department. I wish you the best of luck -- you're gonna' feel empowered when it's all said and done!
