So as you read in my last entry we are expecting our 4th child. We found out right before Christmas. That was a really fun thing to be able to tell everyone on Christmas. As a few weeks have gone by, the reality of it has started to sink in.
A few years ago after my 5th miscarriage I decided that it would be a good idea to sell all of our baby/maternity items that I have collected over the year. There was a lot of stuff! Good stuff too! We made about $500 on everything and it felt good to have it all gone. We were building a house at the time and decided that we would have 3 bedrooms instead of 4.
So not only do I have to buy everything for the new baby, we have to figure out the sleeping arrangements for the kids. If this baby turns out to be a boy, we will be fine. 2 boys in each room. No big deal. If it's a girl, she will have her own room and my 3 boys will be squished into one room. Poor kids.
One of my dear friends told me about a second hand kids clothing store. Bless her. I went and checked it out the other day and I can get everything I need there. I am so grateful. Money is a little tight right now. I'm working a night job to help with the finances and it's getting a little hard. I feel nauseous all of the time and I really want to crawl into bed and stay there. I hope I can hang in there until the summer when all of the residents go home and the job gets easier.
We are really excited and scared for the new baby to join the Dana ranks. It's been a long time since we've had a baby in the house and we've gotten used to having a full night's sleep. It's going to be especially tough for me having to go to work at night and then watch the baby during the day. I have a bad feeling that the household duties are going to go by the wayside for awhile. Oh well. Sleep is definitely more important.
We should be able to find out what the baby is in February or March. Yay!!! Hoping for a girl but will be just as excited if it's a boy. I just really want a healthy baby. Cheers!
