14th October 2005
I don't really know how to start this, so I will just come out with it... we have decided to start a family. We had said since before we bought the house together this would be when we would try. We had our big Europe trip as our honeymoon, because we didn't feel like that was a trip to take with a young family. Even though we had talked about it before, it still doesn't seem real. I don't doubt for a second that Dave will be an amazing Dad, and I will be a good Mum, it is just strange to try to imagine it being real. Im both excited and scared at the same time. Mainly scared that we can't protect a child against all of the bad things in the world these days, no matter how amazing parents we are. Im not exactly scared, but a bit worried, about how I will cope with carrying a baby and the delivery, with all of my injuries. I wanted to start this journal so I can get things like this out, since Dave would really like to keep this under our hats until we have some good news! I don't know what I will do about work yet. Ideally I would be able to job share after bub is born. Another option is to adjust my hours to suit my routine better. I would need to start early so I could finish early, and Dave starting late and finishing late. That would probably mean that I would have to do weekend and night work as well to keep up. Even though I am only just in a great job with a great team, in a career that I have been training for for a long time, and really love, if none of these options are possible, I would have to put my career on hold. If that was the case, I would either take on a temp or part time role, still probably with the bank, until the kids are at school. Then I can upgrade my Financial Planning studies (which I will do either way) to either a CFP or Masters before getting back into planning again. I could maybe even try somewhere in there to see if I could make a little with my artistic abilities. I know that my diet has been terrible lately, do I have to fix that pretty quick. Not that I am eating junk food, just not enough fruit and veg, too much rice. I have started taking Iron and Folate tablets, but my Dr recommended some pregnancy multivitamins to take when they are finished.
