I guess i really thought about it while on bed rest as there was nothing else to do But holding my baby and thinking about being that stay at home mom really made me make my decision. Who knows maby in the future i will get back into the work force.

AND we have been through alot with the pregnancy of our girls and what we are going through now has put a tole on us but we have decided to have another baby when hope is a couple years old. We dont want to throw away the chance at more kids because of this pregancy. Obviously if God didnt want us to have kids we would of lost both our baby girls. I do think things happen for areason and i think this has made us stronger people.

I know it's been tough for us financially but it's definitely the best decision for us. Just be prepared to get flack from people who don't understand. There are those out there who think SAHM's just sit around like Peg Bundy all day eating bon-bons. Morons in my opinion. And sad too. Good luck!

kimberley replied: your Hope is an inspiration to all of us. i am so happy to hear you so positive and i know exactly how you feel about being a sahm. there is no way i could tear myself away from these kids and miss one single thing. they are so precious, i want to cherish every moment. congrats on your big decision and welcome to sahm world

MomToJade&Jordan replied: I think when I thought about having babies my first thought was I was going to be a SAHM. That's how my Mom did it. I just love watching my baby grow right in front of my eyes. Then if I decided that I do infact want to work I can still work from home. I can do in-home daycare or I was thinking of starting music courses for kids out of my home. I do have a Music degree so this shouldn't be too hard. I told DH that if I do indeed need to start taking in an income then it better be something I can do at home. I am so glad that you have decided to become a SAHM. I am also happy that you have not let this experience stop you from trying to have more babies in the future. You are right. Things do happen for a reason. God does work mysteriously.

Jamison'smama replied: What an amazing and strong family you are. Congratulations on your decision. It is will be a great ride being at home with your daughter. So glad Hope is doing well and can't wait to see more pictues of your little beauty.

Elle replied: Good for you!
I quit my job just before Brighton was born, but as we needed the money I continued to be a teacher... But at home! I help kids with their homework and so, and I don't miss anything about my kids' childhood! It's so great to be a SAHM.
I really like how you look at what has been happening the last few months... Everything does happen for a reason, I agree.

coasterqueen replied: I am so happy for you Sharon! It sounds like the best decision for your family and I'm sure you won't regret it! I'm always happy for those mom's who can stay at home!!!! Good luck!

jem0622 replied: I think it was a good decision and we all have to do things that might require penny pinching...but they only stay small for so long, ya know? It has been tough on DH and me after deciding that we'd still be in the red paying for daycare (for Nathan (4) and Gabe (18 mos)) so why work only to put ourselves in that predicament? We ended up being in a predicament anyway but I just had a very depressing experience and witnessed some vile behavior amongst some youth in our neighborhood and I will never ever have both of us out of the home at the same time ever.

megsmommie replied: Congrats to you!! I am happy for you all. I wish I could be a SAHM again, but not possible- well at least not right now. Anyhow, I wish you the best of luck in your decision!!
