I'm currently studying to be an interpreter for the Deaf using American Sign Language. <img src="i/expressions/rose.gif" border="0">
I am an ultrasound technologist. I work in an OB office and I perform ultrasounds. I tell people if they are having twins, or if the baby is a boy or a girl and look at all the fetal anatomy to make sure all the right "parts" are there and functioning properly. We also perform many prenatal tests such as amniocentesis and CVS.

Um, I work at Chuck E. Cheese hahaha. I'm a party hostess, and I make pretty good money (or else there's no way I'd work there), but I only work on weekends cuz of school and I don't like to overwork myself. I did apply to be a substitute teacher recently, so as soon as all my paper work has gone through, I'll be doing that as much as I can, along with Chuck E. Cheese. During the summer I work at CEC on weekends still, and I do secretarial work for my township building during the week. Plus, I am a junior majoring in psychology, hoping to teach it in the future. Although, ever since I was little, all I really wanted to do was get married and be a stay-at-home mom...but these days thats almost impossible...but we'll see what happens <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I'm delighted and proud to say that my 25-year-old daughter with CF is living out her dreams. Though she was unable to complete college due to frequent hospitalizations, she has still realized her dream of teaching violin. Because of the classes she <i>did</i> take and through her experiences, personal research, and her own creativity, she was able to develop the skills to teach. She has taught in the school system, at a conservatory, but now does what she loves most--private lessons for children and adults.
Her other dream was to be a wife and mother. But, as many people with CF, she wondered who could possibly lover her enough to deal with all the stuff of CF. And the professionals all told her that, even if it were possible for her to get pregnant, it would certainly be detrimental to her health. However, five years ago, she married an incredible man who adores her and takes all the "stuff" of CF in stride. Then, to add to her joy, two-and-a half years ago, she gave birth to a delightful and adorable little girl (who does not have CF). In fact, she has now developed a Web site to answer the questions of women with CF who are considering pregnancy and fill in the gaps of information that even the professionals seem to have about the subject. If you're interested, you can check the sit out at: <a target=new class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://http://www.geocities.com/murrensnaturemama/">http://www.geocities.com/murrensnaturemama/</a> .
I've always been so proud of her just because she's great. And I have to say, she's one of my "most admired people" because of her courage, determination, and strength to fight for her life and everything that makes it worth living. If you couldn't tell...I'm one proud mama!

Thanks mom!<STRONG>Hey Kim</STRONG>. You CAN be a stay-at-home mom! My hubby is a grad school student and I teach violin lessons (as my mom, writewoman, pointed out). But, since the birth of my daughter, I've taught from home. One day a week I teach lessons elsewhere and she comes along. When she was tiny, I put her in the sling and taught while carrying her (hands free). When she got bigger, I made a little spot in the room for her and just let her play. Right now I've been focussing on building the website, but I've done that from home. I've also done some seamstress work from home. I also clean someone else's house once a week now that Murren is older. I just take her with me and let her help or play or nap while I work. Hubby and I made the decision that we would not put our child in daycare even before we were pregnant with her. You can stay at home with your babies, you just have to be creative. If you need income, then train yourself in things that can be done from home or create a job that uses your skills that you can do at home. People always need tutors (for math, languages, music, sewing, computer programming) and tutoring can be done in your home. If you like to scrapbook, then offer your scrapbooking services to busy working families. Or offer to drive carpool. You can do tons of jobs with your child by your side. You really only need to decide that you will make it work -- then it will. You can email me personally if you want more of my experience or to talk about working with babies.
