Trying something new

I've been wanting to find a way to record day-to-day happenings, milestones, and feelings and share them with others. Hopefully I'll be able to keep up with this blog. I've picked up scrapbooking... and put it down again. I've started multiple free websites about our family... and then quickly forgotten the website address or password. This one should be just a little easier.

This coming February I plan on being a mostly stay-at-home mom (I'll work, on average, one 12-hour shift a week). While I'm so excited about spending most of my time raising my sons, I'm scared to death of staying home. My mother-in-law has been so good about keeping Lucas learning and expending his energy. I know my pregnancy slows me down, but I don't remember what it's like to have that kind of energy. Come February, I'm going to have both a newborn and a toddler to keep up with! I see all my mommy-friends Facebooking or blogging about all the things they do with their kids. What am I going to do with two boys all day long? How will I keep them entertained and learning? Where will I find the energy to be the wonder-mom I wish I was? Prayer, prayer, and lots more prayer...
