sisters

My pregs aka Beebs told me to write on my blog more. So here we go. I was able to come visit the family this past week. I was super excited to see Beebs pregnant. It tripped me out to see her like that. I would poke her belly, or rub her belly just make sure it was real. She looks adorable. It made me really think about having children. Jason and I have been talking and talking about it. We had a set time to start trying and I am FREAKED OUT. Babies are a big deal. We have a boy name and a girl name picked out already. I live a lifestyle much different than the typical 9-5. So its questions galor to my friends at work who have children and live the life I do. Two major things that have plagued my mind are finances of course and child care. I live in Arizona, miles from my family. Family being close would be so ideal if I needed a babysitter for free. Child care is super expensive. Of course, the other solution is that Jason and I work opposite schedules. My analytical mind is completely overwhelmed with finding a solution. At least I have people around that can give me advice. I have awhile yet, but its not like time stands still.

    Babies are worth it!! Even if you two have to work opposite shifts, it will be satisfying enough raising a cute mini Erica! Good Luck!

    Well, I think one of the hardest things about having kids is trying to juggle a schedule around work, school (Dalin's school and my own), and time for you and your hubby. But I'd never go back. And I agree with Brianne, you should blog a bit more than twice a year (Hahaha). I'm not the best at it either.

    I am glad I could inspire you. Don't worry, I am scared out of my mind that things won't work with baby. But there is a way. It is scary how it works out. I love you my Eripa!

    I under estimated the child/job/family logistics before I had kids so I am glad you are seriously considering all of that NOW. That being said, you make it work out because you have to. Being a mom is the best thing I have ever done, hands down. (even on the crappy days) :)

    There's never going to be a perfect time to have kids. All I know is... I look at some people with kids and think, "If they did it, I can do it."
    Hope things are going well for you down there.
