For my women's studies project in college I have been keeping a blog to record the theoretical ideas of working women but also to connect with the experiences of actual working mother. I would really appreciate any comments you have about what I'm writing if you have time, thanks :)CuriousKhttp://theorytoaction.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-70562396378815044512010-05-08T00:15:47.890-05:002010-05-08T00:15:47.890-05:00Bless your heart.

How wonderful! I follow your blog religiously and am very happy for your family!<br /><br />Secondly, you don't have to publish this comment, but I wanted to encourage you to look into job opportunities at Accenture, LLP (consulting, outsourcing, etc). While I am not sure what field you work in, you never know, Accenture might have something for you. Accenture has a fabulous respect for the working mother and encourages a flexible work schedule to accomodate a healthy work/life balance. (I didn't meant for that to sound like a commercial :) ) It is a great place to work and there are locations all over the US and world. <br /><br />Well, I wanted to pass that along to you and I wish you all the best!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06636508739527906777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-4040947248761474742010-05-06T06:43:59.296-05:002010-05-06T06:43:59.296-05:00Congratulations - again - on the pregnancy!

I have heard many many mothers say that one pregnancy and the next can be very very different, so hopefully just because this one is starting out a little more stormy when your last ones were easy doesn't mean anything.

With my son (3rd kid, 4th pregnancy) I was sick from day one. Had never had that before. So, that means nothing really, but it's one thing I know. :)<br /><br />Two: Nothing is certain in life. Nothing. I've never been made more clear of that then in the last 6 months of my life. (And yet again in the past week.) Planning for the future is great, but only if you remember to live in the now. <br /><br />Working in an office and leaving 5 kids at home, just doesn't seem like something you want to do. So that's, the now that you do know. I'd go with that.<br /><br />ps. Again, congrats. I am thrilled for you.

My 1st trimester with my twins was horrible (and the 2nd and the 3rd) - bleeding, spotting, cramping etc (you name it). And yet everything came out fine. My 1st trimester with my surprise was fine (I didn't even know I was pg until 10wks, thank goodness - I couldn't take the stress again). I'm just into the 2nd trimester now, so can't say about the rest, but it has been fine so far. So, I know you know this, but just to give you extra encouragement - it all can be perfectly normal (or maybe not normal, but common), and hopefully they will get you in for an ultrasound ASAP so you can know what is going on. <br /><br />And whatever the end is, you stay or you go, congrats and lots of luck! I wish you all the best, and really enjoy reading your blog.Jessica Tnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-3681471477169137302010-05-05T12:39:59.284-05:002010-05-05T12:39:59.284-05:00OMG!
