20 weeks

WOW! What just happend?

My stomach seems to have exploded a bit last night. Pretty sure I wasn't this fat  yesterday. Oh well... as long as I don't get much bigger than this I'll keep my cool. Oh my word though! This is insane.  I'd show you a picture but I'm still in a bit of denial myself. Maybe,  if I am feeling more confident in my hugeness I'll post one soon.

But! We find out if it's a boy or girl in a week!!!!!! I'm pretty excited. I am split 50/50 but Gary really wants a boy. He says a girl would be too stressful and scary.

17 Weeks and Chubby!

We'll find out the gender June 14th! I'm excited!!

There is a BABY on the way!!

 

Gary and I are expecting! The due date is October 27th 2011.

I am incredibly excited and look forward to what is to come.

We're doing this and it feels great!

In Dave Ramsey's words, "Debt is dumb; cash is king and the paid off home mortgage has taken the place of the BMW as the status symbol of choice"

Gary and I (and his family) have been listening to Financial Peace University for Family Home Evening each Monday night. At first I was disappointed figuring it was going to be a waste of my time. I was wrong. It only took minutes to fall in love with what this man has to say. He's got some great advice we could all learn from. I dare you to read his book, listen to his radio show or check out his website AND try implementing it into your life. 

Here is his advice in a summary: 
 

Baby Step 1
$1,000 to start an Emergency Fund
Baby Step 2
Pay off all debt using the Debt Snowball
Baby Step 3
3 to 6 months of expenses in savings
Baby Step 4
Invest 15% of household income into Roth IRAs and pre-tax retirement
Baby Step 5
College funding for children
Baby Step 6
Pay off home early
Baby Step 7
Build wealth and give!
