To start this blog you should know how we got here and why it's for a year...
Before my son was born i was under the assumption that as a new mom i would spend 6 blissful and sleep-deprived weeks with my boy then be ready to return to the rat race and not miss a beat, i couldn't have been more wrong. I suppose my mother could have warned my husband and I that we couldn't understand how we would feel until he was born but as new parents to be you can't really hear or understand that which she clearly knew and decided to let us figure it out on our own.
We started with daycare and were disappointed, we relied on friends and family and found an wonderful opportunity to have in-home care. I won't go into the details of what happened but it changed me as a human being and as a mother and from that moment on we decided we would work extremely hard and hope and pray my husband would make enough or be given an opportunity to make it possible for me to stay at home.
Our prayers were answered in April of this year, my husband was offered a new job and along with it came a transfer to Cleveland, Ohio. We packed up our first home and headed west.
The reason I say this is for a year is because we have signed a year lease to rent our house and to rent our new fabulous two bedroom downtown apartment and after that year I do not know what the future holds for us...therefore, I am doing to document this 21st century style so hopefully my son can see how hard his father worked to make this possible for us....the sacrifices we are both making to make sure he is safe and happy and thriving and just how much two parents are willing to do to make their son the #1 priority....here we go!
