SAHM--the best job in the world!

Before I got pregnant with my daughter, my husband and I didn't feel that we were financially stable enough to have a baby. We had only been married 6 months and wanted to wait a few years and do things together before adding a child to the mix. However, God had other plans for us and I found out we were having a baby almost exactly 6 months after we got married. I was ELATED! Both my husband and I had SAHM growing up, so it was just kind of one of those things that went without saying...that I would be a SAHM. There were times when were weren't sure we'd be able to make it financially...but we've managed to make it work. I am so lucky to have a husband that supports me staying at home with our child and to have him work so hard to provide for his family. There isn't anything that I would change...we just give up things when needed to get by. Everything has fallen into place over the past 2 years and I love being at home with my daughter. She changes so much everyday and I just can't imagine what it would have been like if I would have returned to work. It's the simple things in life that we take for granted. I would give up anything to stay at home with my child to give her the kind of love and environment that she needs to grow into a healthy and loving young woman. I couldn't imagine someone else "raising" my daughter for me. Mom's are meant to be home with their babies...that's just my opinion!
