After talking it through with Jason, I realized the point I meant to get across in my last post was this:
I think I'm somewhat afraid that when Sofia is born (and even now), I'll get so caught up in mommy-land that I'll lose my artistic, free spirited side. What I want most is to intertwine that side of me with the family-woman in me, and use my creativity for our financial benefit so it doesn't go to waste.
A typical Gemini, what I want and dream of changes constantly. This can be exciting yet frustrating at the same time, because I have no control over it. I guess I just want some peace - a consistent, happy union of all sides of me, without going to extremes. I don't want to be Typical Boring Suburbia Mom one day, and Totally Wacked Out Artsy Mom the next just because I'm trying to make up for lost ground.
Am I making absolutely no sense?

I've been meaning to comment on your post (read it at work today and didn't have enough time to write a response). To be honest with you... I fell into a complete funk when I was pregnant with Hudson and after I had him. My creative side completely flopped... not so much that I was putting effort into it and bombing, but that I didn't care or have time/energy to put the effort into it. I'm just now feeling like I'm refreshed and ready to jump back into my artistic work... and the more excited I get about it the more I realize how much time I lack. Frustrating.
