So, I did it. I quit my job.
Holy. Shit.
This is something John and I have been talking about since before Alex was born. It got serious about two months ago and only now I've decided to take the plunge and leave my lucrative employment to become a housewife and stay at home mom.
To sum up how monumental this decision is for me, I will quote a conversation I had with my mom this afternoon:
Me (Screaming into the phone): "Mom! I've made a HUGE life changing decision! I can't believe it! I'm so excited and scared and OH MY GOD!"
Her: "Are you pregnant?"
Me: "NO! It's bigger than that! I QUIT MY JOB!"
Her: "Quitting your job is bigger than having a baby?"
Me: "Well, yeah. I've had a baby. I've never been unemployed"
There are many unknowns and worries about loosing half our household income, but instead of fretting about it, I'm just going to look forward to my new life as Alex's full time diaper changer, toy picker-upper, booger picker, Eskimo kisser, tummy raspberry blower and toe nibbler.
