Juggling pregnancy, adoption and business

Between late last night and noon today, many tasks have been completed. Jeff and I spent the better part of last night finishing the final stages of our adoption paperwork.
For any of you considering adoption or going through adoption, believe me it's taxing, but not impossible...and I'm sure...very worth it.

We had to choose pictures of ourselves and our families including us. It's actually a nice thing to have to do. It makes you go back and remember some really special time. We even went so far to save the chosen pictures in a file, so we can download them to a digital frame for both children to see. As Jeff cropped, printed and trimmed, I had to photocopy every original document along with the notorization, certification and authentication page. It felt good to accomplish this final paperwork work stage as a team, and great to pile it all up and package for mailing to our agency for critical review.

Early this morning, we both worked on our separate consulting companies. Then we squeezed in an hour to order some amazing new products for our online store
Little Baby Headquarters.

My message in this post is...
working for yourself is in no way easy. But I must say, NEVER QUIT. Just when we get discouraged, a new gig comes our way or a new product in the store sells. If you are planning on jumping out of your W2 job, there is nothing to fear-just believe you are your best employee and you can get it all done.
