It is crazy to me to be writing this. I have dreamed of this day for a very long time, but now that it has come, I am a little emotional(would being pregnant have anything to do with that). My husband and I have always wanted me to stay home once we had kids. We have tried to cut down on our finances and make the cuts we need to, to live off of one income. We have prayed long and talked alot about it and finally came to the decision that I will be staying home once Landon is born.
I am excited and scared at the same time. I have never not known getting up in the morning and going to a job. I have always worked. In high school, and college and right after college, so this will be something new to me. Then there is the whole no money coming in and what if we need the extra money. Lots of emotions going through my head. It is a good thing.
I have given my letter of resignation to my 2 supervisors and also they have already had me announce it to my co-workers. so it is done!!!
WOW!!! I am still in shock. I will work up until Landon comes. Pray I can make it with the growing child inside me and my losing brain. :0)
Hubby and I are very excited about the time God has before us, he has already blessed us with so much and we know that he will always provide for us and take care of us. It is just a little scary. I know when the time comes I will LOVE staying home with Landon and I am also looking forward to being able to do other things. But being home with Landon and raising him and seeing him grow will be very exciting, and also very exciting to see what God has instore for Wes and I and all that he will teach us over the next couple months and years.

That's great Jodi! I'm so happy that you're going to be able to be home with Landon! It's always nice to be with our kids and see each and every step and stage. Can't wait to hear all about what God is doing in your lives!!
Jodi I am soooo excited for you. I have tears in my eyes. Really happy for you. Love you. Rachel
I'm praying for you Jodi! I totally understand the excitement/fear in change. I remember for about 3 months after I stopped teaching I would be SO bored. The house was super clean, the boys happy, errands ran, and projects finished. Then one day I woke up with such a refreshed feeling of belonging. Now its been 2 years and I can't imagine going back to work and leaving my wee ones with anyone other than ourself or family. Amazing how our minds mutate when children arrive!
Tonight is our first night home with Ella and I've gotta tell you that its scary going to sleep. But one time Liz Borbe told me that each night she had to rest Ezra in the arms of Jesus and learn to trust in Him. Its a challange I'm learning we as new moms have to take up.
Well, bed awaits me. Fadymeow keeps scaring me because its 11:15pm, everyones asleep and she keeps standing up and staring at the window- like she's on alert and somethings out there...I'm such a chicken when it comes to things like that :)
So excited for you Jodi! Praying for you both as you begin this new journey of 100% excitement!

wow, that's scary and exciting at the same time Jods :) I laughed at your last post cause I can so relate to the losing my mind. Sometimes I think, what is happening to me :) I go to the cupboard for a plate and walk back with potholders...or I take the birdfood and put it in the freezer. And this morning when I went swimming, after I paid I kept a coin out for the lockers there, then got changed, when I got to the lockers, NO coin, what the heck did I do with it, ofcourse in my absentmindedness I had just put it back in my wallet. It is just so funny and insane, and fun to laugh about I guess :) Just hope my mind comes back after I have this baby!!! :) Love ya!
SOOOOO excited for you, don't even give it a "thot" of not having enough to do ... maybe day 1, like when dad became a "pastor" and had a first day!!!!!
WHEW!!!Such a GREAT choice!!!
FANASTIC!!!
Can you tell we're excited for you?
