Here we are again!!!






Well,
Here we are again! Baby numero dos. I definitely am feeling mixed emotions these days about this one. We are SO excited, but also a little financially unsure about how we are going to pay this. I know in the end, we will be ok, we both make decent money and are smart about money, so I'm not too worried, but just want everything to be ok for us. We are finally at a place where we are doing really well financially, then we find out about this and we are hit with another payment. The more we think about it though and talk it through, the more we realize, everything will be fine. It will be very hard spending $1600 a month just in daycare, but it's not forever. We know that when they get a little older, all of this will be worth it. We won't be like this forever, that's the thing we are trying to keep in mind. It seems that everyone we know has someone, parents or another family member or even themselves to watch their kids, so I think we are the only ones we know, maybe a few others, that have to pay for daycare. Oh well, enough about harping on that. Now to get excited about the baby. We are pretty excited, but just waiting to find out what it is. We won't find out for another 6 weeks or something. I initially was for sure it was a girl. The dr did a sono and said she thought it was a girl too...I was sure. THEN, we went to a second appt and the nurse said she saw something and she thinks it's a boy..that was a week later from the first guess. I was pretty set on a girl and pretty excited about a girl. So, when she first said it, I actually cried a little. I felt bad if it is a boy and I was sad about it. I wasn't necessarily sad, boys are so much fun and I know what to do with a boy! :) But, I think I was just a little bummed because I had this vision in my head. No matter what, in the end, I will be excited about whatever it is. We just want a healthy baby. Plus, with a boy, I already have the bedding and lots of other boy stuff!! So, whatever God thinks we can handle, I guess we will get. I do know that after this, WE ARE DONE!!! No more..not even a question. 2 is enough for me and all that we are having.


So, I will hopefully continue the blog and keep everyone posted on everything. For now, we are having the baby in Mansfield at the same hospital. Of course, we would love to have the baby in Austin and be moved back, but it's not going to happen since I have to have a job. We are really trying to sell this house though(we just redid our bathroom floors, so I included a pic), so we can atleast be out from this thing keeping us here.

I'll be in touch!

  1. Well hmmmm. The opening blog didn't sound like you were very excited about this. I thought this was planned.
    I know you are going through the rough part right now so it's hard to be excited but it should be over soon.
    I also know you want a girl but some times it's just not in the cards as we know; we have two girls and no boys; had one but it was meant to be so things just have a way of working out for the good. You will love him or her just as much so no worries.
    Bathroom looks great! Good job.
    Love you guys
