I AM AN AUNTIE... Again!


Last night my big sister, Renee, gave birth to my newest nephew. Gavin Parker Schneider was born a healthy 7lbs 2oz, 20 1/2 inches with a head of dark hair. I will get to go visit my new nephew tonight... I can't wait.

Going through this pregnancy with Renee has made me realize more and more that I do want another child. I know that I often say that one is enough or that I don't know if I really want another one... the truth is that I just say that so people won't constantly bother me about timing. Grant and I have got our own timeline, one that we are happy and comfortable with. Truth be told, the idea of having two in full time daycare is almost a paralyzing fear... who can afford $2000+ a month... I would not be working for much more than paying daycare, so in essence I am paying someone else to watch my child and experiencing all of the firsts, ones that we missed with Krystina. I, WE, want to be more financially secure when we have another one, I know that if we wait until we have enough money we will never have a child... I get that idea BUT we will wait until we will only be paying daycare for ONE. I love my husband and my family so much that I can't wait to bring another Smith into it... ha ha, just what this world needs is one more Smith!

Jacob and I think it is so CRAZY that the elementary school is willing to take Bella 5 days a week... 3 hours a day... for FREE!!!! I totally hear you on the cost of daycare... that was one bill we were happy to be done with... for now! =)
