His first name is neither Gus nor Reid. But I call him Reid on my blog

Really? Can I find it on meetup?

You're not nosey! That's why I have a formspring. I'm on maternity leave for 6 weeks but may go back at week 5. Yes, he will be going to the same woman who watches Bean. I am a substance abuse and mental health counselor at a high school :)

Surprisingly, better than I thought. I was kind of afraid that I wouldn't be able to love them both but that's not the case. Bean gets on my nerves more often now (I think it's because of her age) but I love the age difference. I get to snuggle and kiss him and enjoy how small he is and then I get to rumble, laugh, and have conversations with Bean. Best of both, I think.

Aw thank you so much! It's nice to find other people out there who can relate. I'm interested, do you have a blog?

I'm right there with you in regards to the 2 under 2 and some days I look at myself and ask, "What the heck are we doing!?" But then I take a deep breath and realize we have wonderful family members and friends and I have a great husband and so things will work out..they have to.
I struggle constantly between wanting to stay home and work. Part of me feels like I need to use the degrees I'm paying so much money for and that staying home would waste them. Then what if I decide to go back to work when they are in school? That means I may be out of the work force for a very long time, do I become unmarketable?
I also know that I'm basically working so that I can pay bills (well it feels like that) because we are following a specific financial model that will leave us debt free and worry free in the long run. But childcare costs are criminal, they truly are. I'm so jealous that you are paying $400 dollars a month! When we add in our second baby it will shoot us up to $700 a month! So yes, it sucks.
I guess for me the huge choice to stay home would depend on if my husband gets an awesome job that could support us enough for that choice. But then what to do with all my student loans? Ah..the choices.
Good luck in making yours and if you do, shoot me an email and let me know what were some deciding factors! -
I will continue to work when Baby 2 is here. I am blessed to have a great job that allows me to explore my passions, provides me with ample family time, and a salary that allows us to live a comfortable life style.

Oh man..there are so many. ;)

This actually made me laugh! Thank you so much! I wish I could say I do something to my skin but I really think it comes from great genes (my mother and nana have amazing skin..it's crazy)..but thanks! And thank you for the comment about my relationship..you are really sweet. :)

I did. But it didn't start out that way. I was very reluctant to go to church with him and his family but did because I love him and his family. But I found that when I went I was getting in the way of my connection with God, not any particular faith. So when I opened myself up and asked questions about the Seventh Day Adventist faith I made a connection. I don't know if I would have done that without my husband but I don't think that's a bad thing either.
-
It's probably gone down. But I don't look at any analysis of my blog so really I can't tell. I didnt receive many comments at my old blog address and not too many people comment at the recent address..so to me..it feels the same.

I was induced at 39 weeks and failed to educate myself on how that can lead to a c-section. Then during her labor I had my water broke with multiple vaginal checks and only made it to 3cm dilation after 8 hours. Though I am sure if I wasn't hooked up to machines and refused vaginal checks (they introduce infection so medical professionals are less excited to let women labor extensive hours) so that I could move around, I could have gotten to 10cm and had her vaginally.

My husband was raised in the Adventist church. His family has a long and healthy history with the Adventist church.

Im in between products right now..Which really means, nothing. But I try to put some kind of oil in it.

No. I wasn't raised in any particular faith.
