Yesterday, I handed in my resignation after 5 years of working in the same company. Before I talk about this more, let me mention that I am 7 months pregnant. My husband and I am very very happy about this pregnancy and I am so excited to meet my 2nd daughter!

At first, my initial plan was to just take a leave from work, consuming unpaid vacation leaves plus my maternity leave. But suddenly, a decision to just quit my job was made. My hubby and I had a long and thorough discussion about it Friday night. That night I couldn't sleep just thinking about this very big step. He assured me many times that he can support us financially and that I shouldn't worry about anything. I have my doubts personally but I love my husband and I want to trust him. He seems happy that I will be staying at home to build our family.

Looking back, I mentioned in my blog that I felt guilty for not giving enough time to my 1st daughter, Ysabella. All because I was a workaholic. A lot of you guys advised me that I should start giving time to my daughter before its too late. I look at her and I see all the years I wasted not touching her hand, not laughing with her, and missing out on her childhood. I don't want this to happen to my 2nd daughter. Ysabella is now 9 years old and I think I still have time to catch up with what I have been missing if I quit my job now.

As days go by, I am happier with the decision that I made. I am looking forward to being a good mom to both my daughters. And being a good wife to my loving husband.

As for working...well... I'm still young and I can start anew somewhere when the right time comes. But for now, I'm still enjoying the thought of becoming a hands-on mom. I may try building my own business...I have a lot of ideas. It may not be a sure success but it doesn't mean that I won't have fun trying.
