Hi There, I am a married mom of one and we believe we could be expecting baby number two soon. My first baby is going to preschool very soon. The reason we were thinking about having baby number two right now is because I have reason to fear for my biological clock even though I'm 25. My husband also wanted to have a another child now because he is in his mid 30's and does not want to be too old with a very young child. I have finished many pre-reqs at community college and have applied to several four year schools as well as the nursing program at my local community college. I feel a little bit scared though. Has anyone been able to finish their education while having young kids? I feel so stressed because I'm being pulled in two different directions.On the one hand, I want to make something of myself so I can help my family and being a nurse has always been a dream of mine since I was a little girl. On the other hand, I don't want my child growing up without a sibling. I don't want to look back in regret of never having another child and taking that away from my husband either. I mean my mom offered to raise one child with my dad for me while I go to school but they live in another child and I dont know how this will impact that child.Besides that, how can I be half way across the world without one of my babies? Does anyone have any words of encouragement? I appreciate all your advice in advance.
