Hi Ladies,
I am currently TTC but I wanted to find out if anyone out there is going through the same thing as me. I start back to school in the summer for my Master's degree. and we want to have a baby next year too. That sounds so overwhelming but I know woman work, go to school and parent all the time. So I guess I am looking for encouragement or someone to say its possible HA. How do you juggle everything. I am just nervous about being a new mom.
Re: Working plus school and a baby!
ME!!!!!!!!
I have 2 preschool aged boys, I'm PG with #3, I work full-time and have a 3 hour (round-trip) commute, AND I'm in a master's degree program. I'm not supermom, I'm not on drugs, and I'm actually succeeding at it.
I do not have a clean house, I don't work out anymore, I wish I had more time, but hey, it can be done. You MAKE it happen.. I do require extra help from DH- I get to sleep in on weekens and he takes the boys, I'm lucky to because my program is 100% online and I can do alot of schoolwork AT work... but really, you MUST MUST MUST have DH onboard with you. HE MUST agree to pull extra weight- do the cooking and most of the cleaning, give you extra sleeping times, allow you a set amount of school time that you do only school... etc.
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!
This! I have decided to not take classes next semester because of this very reason. I want to spend all my time with my baby girl, this is more important to me at the current moment. Guess I don't want to get my Masters that bad lol.
You can make it work if you really want to. Just know it's harder to want to start those classes with a LO by your side.
