We're Debt Free!

Officially as of October 29th our family is DEBT FREE! After many years of sacrifice and hard work we have paid off all our debt including my monster of student loans.  It was a tedious roller coaster of emotions trying to pay off student loans which seemed impossible.  Gabby my dear, our sweet little family is debt free and very excited to teach you how to live this lifestyle.  We do not intend to ever go back and we expect you to go to college with no debt and to pay cash for all things you want in life including cars.  Our lives being debt free will be free of a lot of stress and worry that other families endure due to over extending themselves.  Since we no longer have those emotions filling up our lives we can instead fill those voids with more love and laughter that you give us every day.  Hopefully making your life fun and memorable and helping you to achieve your own goals and dreams as you grow up.  We did all of this for you baby girl!  We love you and hope you are proud of all we do for you.

Sacrafices for My Angel

Everyone knows that being a parent is full of sacrifices and some are more difficult than others. So far being a Mom I have "sacrificed" my skin thanks to stretch marks, my youthfulness, thanks to the worries that cause the new wrinkles I notice weekly, my pretty legs thanks to the varicose veins I received during pregnancy that never went away, the comfort of sitting thanks to the back pain I have had ever since pregnancy, a good night’s sleep, and the list goes on... However, none of these things truly feel like a sacrifice (although I do miss sleep and my non-damaged body) they are just part of being a mommy and I wouldn't trade parenthood for anything! Today, however, a very difficult sacrifice was made, although I know it was the only choice. Ranger, the dog Michael and I had for 7 ½ years, was given to a new home today. He bit Gabby on her head when she was about 9 months old and then about a week ago he nipped at her and unfortunately that was the last straw. M

Interesting Fact

Today I went to the doctor for my now bi-weekly appointment. This is only the second time he has gotten out a measuring tape and measured my engorged stomach. My boss was talking about how interesting it is when they measure you...so I asked my doctor about it today and it's true! Whenever you are in your 20 something week and further along until very close to the end of pregnancy the number of centimeters from your pelvic bone to the top of your uterus should approximately be the same as the number of weeks pregnant you are. This week I was 28 centimeters and I am 28 weeks! So Gabrielle is right on schedule.
