Welcome to steemit! I'm fairly new as well so were in this together. I'm not a mother yet, but I'm marrying my soul mate next year and can't wait to start a family. I can relate to your goals so much. I too want to have a life where I can be there for my children as they are growing up. I know we are strangers, but woman to woman I'm proud of you! Your story is inspirational, you're going to do great here.
