In my doubt and worry lately with weighing the pros and cons of taking on a new challenge at work or continuing to work part-time so that I’m home for Gavin I turned to my mother for some input and advice. She of course will support me in whatever I do. She understood and tried comforting me regarding this battle going on in my head about what I’m suppose to do with my life now… meaning now that I’m a wife and new mother all over again.
