Could it be that I might be a lil jealous or unhappy?

You made a sacrifice. Maybe when your daughter is older you can return to school. I remember going through the same emotions. You had a dream, a connection with others and you sacrificed it for your marriage. Even though you did what you thought was right it does not mean it doesn't hurt. I don't think you are jealous, I think you miss it. And maybe you are happy, but it doesn't mean you don't miss them and school . Or maybe you have a little post part um depression. Or maybe you set your sights real high and your realizing there are no big fireworks and fairy tale ending. Motherhood is difficult and so is marriage. You will be OK, you need to really soul search and decide your true feelings. Motherhood is beautiful but it has ups and downs and so does marriage. And to wanting a career does not mean you don't love your husband or baby.

Itsokay to be happy being a housewife and mother, but maybe in you there is another caring side that says you want to be a nurse. I dont think its horrible at all to feel a little unhappy. Sometimes you need a little bit more than just a happy house to be fulfilled. Maybe caring for people and sharing love with them is a gift you have. I would talk to you husband and discuss perhaps going back to school part time and taking some classes and fulfilling your need to care for people and be a nurse. If you dont want to go into nursing anymore and dont really want to work fulltime... maybe you can do some volunteering at the hospital or a nursing home. You probably have some need to care and be fulfilled by helping other people.

Maybe you miss the friendships that you formed with these women. You didn't have to stop talking to them because you moved away. You might also be a little envious of their accomplishments This doesn't mean that you would trade your life that you have now (I'm sure you love it), but maybe part of you feels the loss of what might have been.

Sounds like you have some unfinished business and that in your heart you want to be a nurse and finish school.

you didnt let go to that life you had....thats why it hurts you....you wanted to have that too besides your current life....
you missed a lot of things that you wanted to live with your friends.....
Keep in contact with them (friends) that is what really matters, they still consider you part of their group....
