A haircut is an excellent idea! That's always a great pick-me-up. Get your nails done too! ;~}
You don't sound snobby at all. I think you sound like you and I could be friends! Trust your gut instinct; that's one of motherhoods gifts. You may not understand why you feel the way that you do, but listen to it. Our babies are not worth risking.
Most of the people I met after we moved here were from church. We would go out to lunch after church and get to know them little by little. They also had a program where you signed up to be in a small group of 4 other families with the sole purpose of spending time together to get to know one another better.
I asked people from my husband's office to recommend a sitter so we could go out for dinner once in a while. You can always ask for references from teachers or youth leaders if they are in high school. Especially in a town as small as we're in--if there's something you should know, someone will tell you.
During the summer, there will be a lot of moms at the local pool. Is there a newcommers organization where you are?
I've been married a while and it seems like whenever my husband started acting like you say yours is, it usually wasn't why I thought it was. Men's minds are different than ours. You think he doesn't want another baby, however, he may be thinking only about the financial pressures of another child, not that he doesn't want one. Or maybe he's afraid you won't have any time at all left for him if you have another child.
Do you think your inside feeling of lonliness will be helped by going to work?
