Detra's Pregnancy Journal - Pregnancy Week Thirty Five

 
35 Weeks Pregnant

It's week 35 and I am so glad. It seems that I have grown quite a bit in the last week or so and I am considerably more uncomfortable. I have been able to keep exercising and keep my routine basically the same though. I really like raisin bran and ice cream these days. Those are the two things that don't give me heart burn. Milk is truly my friend:-) I am so excited about having this child.

I have a dilemma. My husband and I need more income. I work 30 hours per week and my job is phasing out this semester. I work at an academic institution. Financially, I need to work full time, but to be honest, I don't want to. I want to be able to spend time with the baby when it comes and have time to take care of myself as well. My mother never worked full time when I was growing up so and I am sorry to say that everyone that I have ever known who is married and has children and works full time, have marital problems. My husband and I have only been married for one year and we have already had our share of marital problems without our own children. I did have step kids for the summer.

Another thing is, I am used to working out and I would like to take up my music again. I'm afraid that if I get a 40 hour job, I'll lose the little of myself that I have now. I have a masters degree in vocal performance and I'm not doing anything with it. I was offered a dream job in Hollywood last year, but because I had just gotten married and we were going to have the girls for the summer and everything was so new, I turned it down, thinking that I would try again later. Now I am totally confused. I don't know what to do. I know what my options are but I just don't know what to choose. Your prayers for good decision making would be appreciated.
