1st Trimester

***Shamrock Sweeties Wednesday Check-in***

Hello Shamrock Sweeties!!  This is a check-in for moms with a due date in the month of March 2010.  If you would like to be added, please post your bump name, real name, age and EDD.

Also, if you need anything changed, please post your EDD along with your new info so that it's easier to find your name on the list (it is hard to find some of you to update!).

If you are listed in the due date needed list, please update your due date for me so that I can add you to the correct date.

Check-ins will be every Monday, Wednesday and Friday by 8am CST.  Feel free to check-in any time that day.  Give us a general update on your progress and anything else you want to add!  We will have a question of the day as well.  There will also be a link to the check-in posted sometime after 4pm CST on M, W, and F.

Our Love To:  
MrsJJC, babygirlpriest, Dbee05, pbhennessy, oshamrockx

QOTD:  Are you planning to be a SAHM or a working mom?

Re: ***Shamrock Sweeties Wednesday Check-in***

  • There's been some talk about choosing a common badge for the group.  I don't know if we need to go as far as another vote but let me know what you think.  I'm willing to do whatever you all want.

    QOTD:  I wish I could be a SAHM but I'll continue being a working mom.  At least I get my summers off being that I work in education.

  • I will be a working mom for sure.
  • Loading the player...
  • QOTD: I will be working. I have no choice, I'm the bread winner & we can not live without my salary.
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • QOTD:   I plan on both.  I am currently a student for Spanish Education.  I will have my summers home with the kids and during the school year I will be working.

  • Hello Everyone! 

    QOTD:  Are you planning to be a SAHM or a working mom? - I would love to be SAHM at least for the first year but our finances don't allow for that.  So after my 8 weeks of paid maternity leave I'll be heading back to the daily grind. 

    Pregnancy Ticker
  • I work now and will go back after this baby too
  • QOTD: I will continue working part-time. I am a nurse and I work 24 hrs a week. It works well for us. I think I would love to be a SAHM but I would miss my nursing career.

    Oh, and can you move me to the 3/25 EDD? My OB changed my date...but only by a day. (Edit to add: I was 3/26)

  • QOTD: I will be a working mommy.  I'm the primary breadwinner (yikes, on a teacher's salary!) so I absolutely HAVE to work.  DH is quitting his job next August, though, to be a SAHD.  Otherwise, pretty much his entire paycheck would go to daycare. This just makes more sense to us.

     

    Also, Mrs Dovey- good choice on careers!!!!! Ensenar el espanol es el trabajo mas fantastico del mundo :)

  • I'll be working, but I teach and will have my summers to SAH with the baby. ?

    From our WDW vacation- June 3, 2014

    DS- Wesley- March 14, 2010
    DD- Norah- September 27, 2012


  • Good morning Ladies.

    11 weeks has been so good to me. I never had m/s but I had horrible bloating but since I made 11 weeks it just seemed to dwindle away. Yay! I hope the rest of you are feeling okay. But I do still have feel exhausted, and my busy life does not help this.

    QOTD: I plan to take off 6-8 weeks and then I'm headed back to work! The only way I could see myself being a SAHM is if I was only making enough $$ for childcare. Which with my salary that's not the case. I can't see myself at home. I would definately have to find some job I could do from home. In fact, I love working so much, I would rather FI stay at home and I work.

    Lilypie Second Birthday tickers image
  • I'll have no choice but to be a working mom, at least this time around.

    I think we should vote on a common badge, as well as have a post for labor buddy options, if anyone wants one.

  • QOTD: ?Hopefully if DH gets the med school scholarship he applied for (we find out in October!) I will get to be a SAHM when he gets into residency in two years. ?Until then I will continue to work at least part time, if not full time.
  • I plan on taking the first year and a half off and then we will see how it goes. I would love to be a full time SAHM.
    Pregnancy Ticker
  • i am a sahm and will be once baby #2 arrives.
  • I plan on being a SAHM. I don't work now, only my hubby does.
    Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker



  • Hey there March Mommies!  I would so love to be a SAHM, but we can't afford it.  I'm a teacher and would love to not go back to school after the baby this school year, but we will have to see.  I get a 6 week maternity leave, plus I have 15 sick days built up so I can take 9 weeks off.  That puts me going back to work for only 3 weeks until summer break.

    I'm feeling pretty good during week 10.  I have more energy throughout the day but my m/s comes into full swing about 4:00 and lasts through the night.  At least it's not all day anymore, though!!!

  • I'm hoping to be a SAHM until the kid starts school. I'm a graphic designer, so the plan is to keep up part time freelance work from home until I can go back to work.

    :edit:

    About the "common badge" thing - well, there's a post a little further down about it. Why I participated, I'm not really sure, lol.

    Labor buddies might be a good idea though, for those who are interested.


    Evelyn (3.24.10), Graham (5.30.13) & Miles (8.28.16)
  • I plan on being a SAHM.  I actually plan on leaving well before the baby is born so that I have time to prepare.  My current job is nearly an hour from home and I can't even imagine driving that far every day in 3rd tri... plus if I weren't PG I would likely be looking for a new job for various reasons.

    DH is actually asking me how soon I would want to leave.  I feel like a wimp if I just stop now but it's very tempting...

  • I'm a working mom!  Luckily, I just left the private practice of law (very demanding hours) for a government counsel position which makes my schedule much more flexible for me to work and be there for LO.
  • dupedupe member
    I'm already a SAHM. I was planning on going back to get my masters when ds turned 2, but now I may not.  I'm looking into doing some photography. It's something I'm good at, so why not make money doing it. 
  • I have mixed feelings about it. I know I would love to SAH with my baby, not sure if I can or not. I wonder though if I would miss working. However, I think once I see that baby I will think of nothing else. :)

    Pregnancy Ticker

    BabyFruit Ticker

  • QOTD: I am a combo of both - I work full time from home, so it has allowed me to stay home with DD and now with this one as well! I am trained as a teacher, but am taking a break from teaching while our kids are small and will head back to the classroom once DD starts school and my mom retires and can watch the youngest one!
  • Good Morning!

    Please add me to the list.  lbrooks0308- Laura,30 I am due March 6, 2010!

    After the baby arrives, I plan on being a SAHM :)

  • I will be a SAHM for the one year I get mat leave, although it really depends on my job.  I might go back to school afterwards, or if I happen to find a good job in the next little while, I'll go back to my job.

  • I will be working at first. I am a teacher and will not go back for the remainder of the school year, but will go back in the fall.  So, I guess I'll have the first 5-6 months at home.

    We are really hoping on a big raise for DH this spring, if that happens, I may considering going part time.....the plan in the big picture is to stay home as soon as finances allow.

    QOTD: I will be working. I have no choice, I'm the bread winner & we can not live without my salary.

    this is me too.

  • QOTD: I will be working part time once LO arrives.  My work allows for a flexible schedule, so we'll see how it goes working 3 days a week!  I am so excited, since I am bored to tears at work now...

  • QOTD: I would love to be able to be a SAHM, but I'm thinking that working part time may work out better.
  • I will continue to be a working mom.

  • DH and I haven't looked at the finances yet but I would love to be a SAHM but I'm thinking I'll have to go back to work.  I'm have 3 1/2 months of paid maternity and still have 16 weeks of unpaid so I'm just happy I get that long for maternity leave.

  • As of now, I will go back to teaching in September.  Assuming baby comes around its due date, that will give me 6 months off.

    However, we may change our minds.  My income is supplementary but I enjoy it.

  • I will forever be a working mom...it's a good thing i love my job!

  • QOTD: I teach - so I will work during the school year and stay at home in the summer.  I think eventually when we have more kids, I will probably quit my job and stay at home with the kids since my salary would end up going towards daycare.

  • QOTD: I will have to work...we line in NoVa so we both have to work. But at least I am a teacher so I will have breaks and summers off!

  • i will have to continue to work full-time after my 6 weeks of maternity leave, unfortunately! :-p
  • I will be working, but I'm hoping I'll be able to cut down to part-time. My company is great about flexible work arrangements, so hopefully I'll be able to take advantage of that. Work is so slow for me now, I think I could work 10 hours/week and get everything done...yawn.

  • Morning!  Feeling nasty this morning, can't keep anything down.  But on the other hand, I am still pregnant!  I'm not planning on staying home, but I will not go back to 40 hrs/wk for several years.  Probably more like 25 per week.

  • As much as I would love to be a SAHM, I'll be a working mom.  We'll need both salaries to keep up.
