It's not too bad taking care of the house chores, as long as you're also keeping active elsewhere. But I think with having a small child you'd have plenty to look after. :P

Yeah, grad school is definitely something I think would be good for you, Chi. Luckily, they tend to be good at working around things like pregnancies, since most people are wanting to start families before they're in their forties.

I feel like I am ungodly, inherently selfish.

I don't want to give up the infant stage, nor breastfeeding. I'm completely fine with the idea of Kin being a full-time stay at home dad once the breastfeeding stage is over with.

I'll do whatever I have to do in the end regardless, but I worry about how selfishly gypped I'd feel. :/

*huggles*
Poor thing.
My best friend's parents did the switch thing. Her mom (a doctor) stayed home and raised her in the infant and toddler stages. Her dad (a professor), worked during school hours only during her schooling years so he was the "stay at home dad".
It ended up working out fairly well.

That's what we hope to do with the graduate school thing, but work is always up in the air for him.

Yeesh. :/ You know, technically, if you have 12 hours of graduate classes in a concentrated area, you're able to teach a college course (at least by Texas law anyway). That may be a possibility.

I can barely tell a story without going off on 50 tangents. I would make a terrible professor. I have no interest in teaching unfortunately. I want my Master's so I can counsel. That's pretty much it. >>b

We have a general game plan, but it depends on whether or not he has evenings off. Worst case, a friend comes to sit for 2 hours, twice a week. At most I have to go to class 2 times a week, period. So the immediate future should be fine.

You know, provided money's OK.

Indeed. I was more thinking about Kin. If he could get in some grad school before the baby, then he might be able to get a job with better hours. But it's just a random thought. I know you guys will figure everything out just fine. :)

I'm not even a graduate. :p

Well fine then, mister. :P Just make my plan sound dumb. Haha.

Yeah... that's why I responded the way I did. :XD I was confused.

It's okay, I'm confused most of the time. :P

Wow Steel! Beautiful Avi!

*blushes* Aww, thanks, Rusalka! I've been obsessed with making the dang pumpkin skirt work since i got it in the Halloween event.

Well, it certaintly works with that outfit! :D

*huggles* Thanks so much, Rusa. You're too sweet.
So how are you, my dear?

I'm doing good. Bored out of my mind to be tired.. but good. :lol:
How are you?

*rolls around the thread*

Almost bedtime for the little one. D: Then I guess it's time to do the dishes and think about dinner. I only realized now that I haven't eaten. Tummy's being finicky.

@Rusa: Tired, totally unproductive, but still decent. :) Slept in until two this afternoon and it's messed with my whole day.

@Chi: Oh, the joys of pregnancy. :/ Let's just hope you aren't one of those poor women who ends up with terrible morning sickness the entire way through the pregnancy.

Oh, after witnessing my sister throwing up about 5-6 times a day with my nephew, I'm blessed so far. I just have scent-induced nausea, but no throwing up yet.

If it stays like this, I am a lucky duck. XD

Yeah, one of my aunts spent half of her days at her job lying on the bathroom floor, vomiting, and subsisting on crackers. She has three kiddos, too. Yeesh.

I think I'm just going to put a thing of febreeze in her pocket so that she can just nuke anything that smells bad. :)

Steel; Ah.. I had to get up for class.. only for me not to go because I was feeling nauseated.. I fear I might be catching my mom's flu or something... but also couldn't leave for a bit. So... -shrug- should have used the day to be studying but I had no will to do anything but laze about.

Chi; I would call that lucky, hopefully it stays that way for you as well. Hope you manage to eat something though!

Or perhaps, Kin, a Febreeze dryer sheet. So she can hold it in front of her nose when doing smelly tasks.

@Rusa: Apparently it was just a lazy day for most of us.

Totally quoting this and going all high school cheerleader on this..

*coughs and clears throat, cause they need to do that of course*

OMFG! CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN YOU GUYS!!!!

*runs back off to blame canada for his smoking and talk to the medic about taking the pills and patches at the same time to quit. Then go to bed*
