Not selfish at all Jackson. I think what you want sounds reasonable and i wish more people were like you in their thinking. Too often people have children and put everything into them giving up on themselves and thier aspirations- myself included. (I am in the process of changing that). If you stop doing what you love and only concentrate on your children you won't be happy and you cou8ld feel resentful f your situation which isn't conductive to good parenting. Youre a person who wants to make a contribution to the world and to share your talent there is nothing wrong with that at all. I do believe it is possible it just takes some careful planning. It's not allways easy but for me when i think of all that i have acheived in every sense of the word, my children are the most precious and none of it means as much to me as they do. You'll understand when you hold your baby in your arms :)

Jackson,
My name is Jennifer and I am 20 years old and a mother of two girls one is 5 years old and the other is 19 months. I am a full time nursing student and I work full time.I found out that I was pregnant with my third child about a month and a half ago.My fiance thought that it would be best for us to get an abortion and I did!I cannot express to you how you will feel but I wake up and regret it everyday. My fiance and I have been together for five years this December and our relationship has been ruined because of it! I am currently attending counciling. I have been a mother since I was 15 years old and I can tell you that it can be done! I graduated from High school with my class and went right into college! I guess I kind of sound like a hypocrite telling you that you can do it when I just had an abortion but I let someone else make my decisions and now I have to live with it for the rest of my life! You will be in my prayers!
