Babyness
I am never going to have this baby, I guarantee it. Ok, well almost. I know I will have him eventually. But still, the wait is killing me. I think the past month has actually been longer than the past 6 months or so. Don't ask me why, it just seems that way. They really aren't lying when they say that this is the "homestretch"
So, the delima on hand. Godparents. There are 3 main options for Andrew and I, one being his sister, one being a close friend of ours and the last being a co-worker of mine, well ex, since I don't work there anymore. Thing is, one will probably read this and know who she is as soon as she does...and she doesn't know that we are even considering her.AND I don't even know if she would say yes or no:) We love you...
pros and cons of each
Sister...
pros: She loves kids, she is smart, she is going to school to be a doctor so she will have her act together soon, she would never hit a kid, she normally does not cuss around kids.She is family.
Cons:when she does cuss, she uses the one word i hate the most, well a combo of 2 words one being God, and I am sure you can figure out the rest. She is a little on the selfish side. She gets worked up and aggravated easily, but not usually with kids, but easily with adults. She is moving out of the Country.Who knows for how long or if she will even come back. I do not want our child away from the rest of his family by that much. Especially if he has to go to a foreign country after going through losing both his parents.She is Atheist
Coworker...
Pros: She already loves our son and calls him by a nick-name. She has it together and makes enough money to afford him on her own. She would never DREAM of hitting a kid. She is loved by all children. She is one of those people that you say, WOW, you NEED to have kids!!!!!!!!! She would be very good about making sure all of his needs are met.She has a belief in God. She knows all appropriate ages and stages and she has taken care of 2 kids since they were 2 and newborn so she has been through it although she has no kids of her own.
Cons: she is not family.she can be a big wuss and let people push her around. She has a long way to go when it comes to school, and if you can't tell I am reaching here.....
Friend.
Pros: She is married, she is very responsible, she cares very much about her friends and family. Although she is insane about Rocky, she hardly cusses, she has great values, she is stern and would not let our baby go off on the deep end, while maintaining his right to express himself, she would I think be all about making sure he is taken care if in every way from clothing and food to tutors if they were needed. She and her husband are very much in love and I honestly believe that our baby would never have to deal with a divorce on top of everything else.She is very smart.
Cons: her husband is in the army, and I don't want to have an "army brat" kid, so to speak. I don't know how she feels about the whole thing because we have not asked her.She is not family. Not sure of religious stuff.And I honestly think that is all
There are other people who we are considering but this is the main group of contenders, if that even makes sense. So, opinions would help. please post away. I love all of you who are reading this!!!!!!!
