Hi fellow Edenities, something's been on my mind lately and I'd love your unbiased input.
So, ever since the loss of my pregnancy last month, I've been longing to get pregnant again. Hubby and I decided to give it four months, to allow me to recover as well as try and get his legal immigration papers through. However, one thing I've been wanting to do that there won't be enough time for in that timeframe, is finish school. I have about a year, year and a half ahead of me. The degree that I'm after is a Physical Therapist Asst. certificate, so I would be attending a community college. I know the most logical thing to do is get the degree and be somewhat job-secure FIRST, then get pregnant. But realistically it could be two years before that happens (we first have to relocate, which is its own bag of worms.) The idea I had is that we could arrange his work schedule so he could stay home with the baby during my classes, and of course I would study at home. I know the program also involves hands-on work in various hospitals and clinics, but those projects are at most half a day, and don't occur all the time. I think it's definitely doable, and my husband has agreed to it. My parents don't like the idea, however. They want me to finish school before I even think about babies. Then again, they didn't support my marriage in the first place, so it's no wonder. What do you guys think? Has anyone done this/planning to do it? Do you think I'm crazy?
