> You don't sound snobby at all. I think you sound like you and I could be friends! Trust your gut instinct; that's one of motherhoods gifts. You may not understand why you feel the way that you do, but listen to it. Our babies are not worth risking.

I am glad you siad that. I hate that I can't put a finger on what bothers me about our neighbors, but I haven't ignored it, either.> Most of the people I met after we moved here were from church.
We aren't much into church. I want to raise babygirl in church, but I was raised so crazy-religious I am totally turned off to that kind of fanaticism. So once a week and we'll be doing good. DH is NOT into the idea at all, even less than me.

> I asked people from my husband's office to recommend a sitter so we could go out for dinner once in a while.DH loves the babygirl so much, and he doesnt' have much time with her during the week, so he hardly wants to go anywhere without her! I am not complaining, though, because before she was born I thought he might not like her at all! THat was scary!! But he has been TERRIFFIC with her!!

> During the summer, there will be a lot of moms at the local pool.I went to that meeting for an hour or so yesterday and made some acquaintances that I felt pretty comfortable with... Babygirl loves running and playing with the other kids!

> I've been married a while and it seems like whenever my husband started acting like you say yours is, it usually wasn't why I thought it was. Men's minds are different than ours. You think he doesn't want another baby, however, he may be thinking only about the financial pressures of another child, not that he doesn't want one. Or maybe he's afraid you won't have any time at all left for him if you have another child.
>
YOu are so right on this!!> Do you think your inside feeling of lonliness will be helped by going to work?
Don't know- maybe it would be worse if I wasn't with my daughter- I would miss her soooooo!!
THanks, Teresa
