I am so absolutely happy and content right now.
I love waking up and spending time with my beautiful daughter. Yesterday Ryan came home for lunch and we got to enjoy some time together. I also had lots of visitors, and it was nice to see people and chit chat for a while. We also went to the park for a quick stroll since I can't walk too much yet. Ryan was so cute telling Ryleigh all about fishing, and ducks, and telephone poles (yes, that's right, he explained why all telephone poles have numbers on them). It was a perfect day.
All my life I have wanted to be a stay at home mom. I'm actually even feeling satisfaction from cleaning the house, doing laundry, and providing a nice environment for my hard working husband to come home to. It's seriously a dream come true. I am just praying I get the tutoring job, so I can enjoy this forever!
P.S. Ryleigh only woke up twice last night. She ate very well and then went back to sleep for about 3 hours each time. :-)

Love you, Cayla! I am praying that you will be able to get that job.
I know my wife shares your desire to be at home. She wouldn't change it for the world! I am sure that God will provide a way.
wow. lame. your brains are gonna dry up? stay at home, mom, dream lol.
Please, what does being christian have anything to do with raising her. You can be protestant, luthran, atheist and still raise her right. Sad excuse to mention religion here on here since it has nothing to do with it. Its about parenting between two parents.
Secondly, they way you talk "providing for my husband" damn girl read a feminist book.> you sound like you grew up on a farm down south
Dear anonymous, when I read your comment I was going to ignore it because you probably don't even know me. However, I feel the need to stick up for myself.
A) My brains will not dry up being a stay at home mom. I read to my daughter every day, I watch the news, and discuss politics with my husband. I actually have more time to use my brains now that I am not working at a mindless job.
B) Being a Christian has every thing to do with raising a child when you believe, as I do, that God has His hand in every aspect of our lives. And, it's not a sad excuse to mention religion when my religion is also my life style... not to mention it's my blog and I get to write whatever I want.
C) I don't care to be a feminist, I believe my role as a wife is to support my husband and if you find something wrong with that you can keep your opinions to yourself.
To the obviously cowardly anonymous. I was hesitant to reply due to the blatant ignorance of decency, grammar, and intelligence in general. Typically I do not wish to engage in conversation with anyone who resorts to vulgar language, "netspeak", and ad hominen arguments. However, in spite of your poorly formed worldview, whether due to age or maturity, I will retort with this. One's faith has everything to do with raising a child. Note I did not say religion. If one is truly a Christian, following the Biblical standards are key to a child's development. If not for the majority of society, but for that family. Obviously the author is a Christian and believes such. Ergo, any deviation from scriptual law would be a failure in the eyes of the family. Again, all in the perspective of the author. Secondly, feminism is in direct contrast with the Christian Bible. Since we have already determined the author to be a Christian, any point you have regarding feminism is moot. That being said, if you wish to attack any member of my family with your apparently flawed logic, keep it to yourself. If you want to blog about what you believe, be my guest. I promise no one here will judge your efforts. This blog is meant for family, and seeing as you are obviously so far removed from anything resembling family, you may be quiet. Thank you for your time and consideration.
