Life throws a curve ball

So...how do I begin?  Life is really great at keeping you on your toes.  Just when things seem like they are going just as planned and life throws a giant curve ball your way.  Chris lost his job the other day.  What a big blow to all our current plans. Prior to this Chris and I had planned on me staying home with our sweet baby girl.  Now, our roles will have to reverse.  It looks as though I will have to return to work.  As tough as this is I have to put all my emotions and feelings aside because I now have a daughter that relies on me to provide for her.  It is no longer about just me or just Chris.  My saving grace is our daughter will still have a parent at home with her.  It makes sense that if I can't stay home at least Chris can.  Plus, I have gotten so much more maternity time compared to other moms. I have had nearly 5 months with my baby girl.  Chris on the other hand has grasped at the minutes he gets to spend with Eva.  Now, he will get to know our little girl a little better.  And, we will actually have more family time.  With my schedule we have built in time together (with fall break, Thanksgiving, winter break, etc...).  I think we are on our way to catching this curve ball and throwing it back in the opposite direction.
