Staying home

After a lot of thought John and I have decided that I am going to stay home when baby Cara comes.  It just makes sense.  I would not be making any money whatsoever after I paid to have a newborn and toddler in daycare all day and I think somehow we can make it work but cutting back on certain things.  I feel good about my decision.  I plan on telling daycare at the end of May and asking if Colin can come once or twice a week just so he can be around other children and so that I can have one on one time with Cara.   I will tell my boss at the end of June that my last day will be August 1st.  I do not think it will go well with him - he is already so pissed that I am pregnant - but I have to do what is right for my family and for myself.  I hope to stay home for a couple of years and then try to get a job in a school - that is the goal - but I will see what life has in store for me.

Here is a picture of us at Easter.

Baby Cara

It's a Girl!!!!

We found out on Monday that we will be having a little girl. The most important part is she is healthy. Her name will be Cara Regina.
