			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Now that I&#8217;m pregnant, should I work on my writing, start my dog walking business or be a stay at home mom?</strong></p>
<p>I have always been &#8220;undecided&#8221; as far as my career goes &#8230; I&#8217;ve had great jobs, but never finished college or had a traditional &#8220;career&#8221; path.  I&#8217;ve been a massage therapist, HR Manager, and now I want to start a dog walking business &#8230; and all along, I&#8217;ve always written &#8212; blogging and a novel I&#8217;ve worked on for 2 years.  Thing is, I&#8217;m 11 weeks pregnant now, and that changes everything &#8230; I no longer have the luxury I once had &#8212; of being &#8220;wishy washy&#8221;.  Should I pursue my writing for real this time, and/or start a business that would be quite rewarding for me (dog walking).  I&#8217;m so confused, now that I&#8217;m pregnant, and I don&#8217;t want to start another thing I can&#8217;t finish &#8230; OR, should I just be a stay at home mom?</p>
<p>P.S.  Money is not an issue &#8212; I could be a &#8220;stay at home mom&#8221; if I wanted, but I have always felt that JUST doing this would be a failure &#8230; I feel I HAVE to be able to support myself.</p>
