Follow the Yellow Brick Road

I'm warning you this post is for the sake of rambling about stuff that is currently on my mind lol.

Let the ovulation testing commence!! AF has left the building and hopefully within the next week I will know about how my ovulation is going to work. Then BD! I know its most likely going to take more than one month, and I'm perfectly ok with that. I just am glad I can finally get this moving. I have to remind myself if not this month then there's always next month.

The money factor is being fixed very quickly, and I'm breathing sighs of relief left and right. I'm trying to not get my hopes up too high, but I honestly think this is my year to become a mommy. It just feels right. DD is still being possibly the best partner in crime I could've asked for. I'm so pleased with him as my choice. My grades are good, I'm making a list of job prospects because I will have a car in just over a week (weather permitting the search of course), and then I can breathe even more freely. I'm so thankful that everything seems to be falling into place for me. I'm just as thankful that its falling into place for my girlie. I think I'm as excited for her to be a mom as I am for myself to be one.

For me the only thing left to weigh is childcare. I don't necessarily trust anyone with the care of my future child, but for the sake of the single mom thing I'm going to have to come to a decision on it. My choices will be hire a babysitter to care for my child in my home, or trust a daycare. If a daycare is a good one, it can be a great way for children to be socialized and start learning when you can't be there. If they aren't good, well, you know the horror stories. On that same note, babysitters with no supervision could also be a nightmare. I'm almost certain that scares me more that there would be no witnesses if something went wrong. If I got lucky to find someone I trusted it would of course seem more logical to pay a young person a little money to help me out and in turn help them build a resume, then to pay a few hundred a week to strangers who may or may not have had background checks that I feel give enough information. At least this way I'm in control of that.

Oy see, I'm already a mom and I'm not even knocked up yet! I just wanted to get that thought process out there. If you choose to be a single mom you have to get over your dreams of staying home with your little lovely, at least until you can work from home or own your own business complete with on site daycare. That is of course my ultimate goal and wish, but for now I'm going to have to weigh the afore mentioned options. I am quite happy that this is my biggest stresser right now, seeing as how its probably about a year or more away from being an immediate factor. I know I have time to make decisions like that, its honestly kinda fun for it to be something I'm actually looking into and doing research on. I'm very much looking forward to this. First thing is first, gotta get that BFP!
