I've jumped on the bandwagon

After reading everybody's blogs, I've finally jumped on the blog bandwagon, not because I have much to say or enlightenment to give anyone, but just as a place to say what's on my mind. So here is a small introduction to myself.
I am 31 years old, have been married for a little over 2 years to the love of my life. I work as a nanny for 2 very sweet children. My DH and I have finally decided it is time to TTC our own little cupcake so here the adventure begins.
Everyone assumes that because I have been a nanny for the last 10 years and have raised numerous children, I should be a pro when it comes to raising my own child. Not true! I am just as scared as anyone to become a parent. Being a nanny is very different from being a mom, for starters I can't give my future baby back at the end of the day. Working 12 hour days is exhausting but at least I have nights and weekends off. I won't be able to take a break when I'm tired with my own baby, it's a 24/7 job. Also, being a nanny allows me to have all the fun and little or none of the responsibility. At the end of the day whether or not the kids I watch succeed and thrive is not my responsibility. I love all of the children that I have had a hand in raising over the years but I am definitely ready to make my own cupcake.
