TGIF at it's finest

I am so glad the weekend is almost here. Why is it that the short weeks always seem the longest? I am only working 3 days this week and it seems like it's been 5 already. Bizarre.

I am on countdown to maternity leave already, lol, 4 more months, 4 more months....I will have all of November, December, and January off and go back in early February. I am thrilled about having the holidays off with a new baby!

I have baby on the brain all the time so forgive me if I talk about it more than I should. We still haven't talked much about baby names. We were all set on Elliott Louis for a boy until Dante announced that he wasn't crazy about Elliott anymore. So boy names, oy vay, we have no idea. We still like Audrey for a girl but it is still up in the air also. I am still pushing for Brynn but Dante says it's "boring". LOL. We will figure something out soon, I hope. I guess it's time to bust out the baby name books again.

We have also decided that this for sure is our last baby. I will be getting my tubes tied during my c-section. If I didn't have to work, I would push for not doing anything final but I can't imagine being a full time working mom and trying to shuffle the schedules of 4 kids around and pay for daycare. Also Trey is very high needs, medically. He still has to be monitored 24/7 and God forbid, it we have another diabetic child, life will be so choatic and expensive.

Speaking of daycare - My mom has offered to watch this baby for us. We are going to pay her $100/week and she will be watching all 3 kids 3 days a week. We were already paying her a little, mainly to cover food costs. It's actually only $15 less a week than the Montessori we were looking into and we can't claim it on our taxes or use our flex spending account to pay her, but it's my mom - you can't get any better care for your children than your own mother. So I am happy about that. Our car will be paid off in another year or so and then finances will be right back to were they were before. Thank goodness.

I am in a chatty mood today - not sure why, but it's too early to call Natasha or Crystal so here I am. LOL

I am so happy for my friend Rhiannon! I gave her my lucky Clomid that I had and she got pregnant her first cycle on it. We both miscarried around the same time last year and her and her hubs have been TTC for quite a while now. So yay for babies!!!!!
