To get a job, or not to get a job?

I know... that sounds like a stupid, unnecessary question. For most people, the answer would be,"Of course! Get off ur lazy backside and go get a job!" But for me, it's a bit more complicated than that.

See, today I am 7 months pregnant. And I want to be a stay-at-home-mom, if it is at all possible for us to make it without me working once the baby is born.

Well, that's what I've always said. If I can't do that, then I'd want like a 2-3 day, 12-5 job where I could have someone watch the baby while I'm at work, and then Chris and I and the baby could all be home together in the evenings.

I would absolutely hate it if I got an evening job! And so would Chris, as he made clear yesterday when we were talking about this very subject. It would theoretically be the smart thing to do. Chris goes to work in the morning, I'm at home with Baby. Chris gets home, I go to work, and he watches her. No imposing on family members or paying a baby sitter.

But Chris and I actually like spending time with each other! We don't get enough of it as it is now. So a part-time day job is definitely the way to go, if I do decide to get one.

And now back to the original question: Should I get a job, or not?

I keep worrying, "Is anyone going to hire me knowing I'll have to take off in a couple months anyway?" Hmmm.... guess I'll never know if I don't actually APPLY! *laughing*

So... I'm going to apply at a couple places, and see what happens. Simple as that.
