Getting Closer...

Getting closer!! We have had a pretty productive week in regards to making decisions about Carter!

On Tuesday we decided on childcare! What we decided to do was since I'm having Carter in October, it would be kind of silly to start childcare around the holidays. So we are waiting until the beginning of January. Until then after the first few weeks, if I have things to do at the office, I'll just bring him up there with me since he'll probably be sleeping mostly and my office is pretty dead anyways. And if I need to do any showings with clients and stuff I'll just schedule that around when Kevin can watch him and such! But my plan is starting in January I'll take Carter to childcare 3 days a week, MWF and then I'll hang out with him at home (or cruising around town) on T/TH. We had problems for awhile trying to find someone or something that would do 3 days a week. But we met with a lady last weekend who does childcare out of her home with her mother-in-law. They live in our neighborhood and watch other kids in the neighborhood. They seemed great and even watch several teacher kids that work at the elementary by our house. She's very affordable and flexible with our schedule. I talked to a few references and everyone loves it! There will never be more than 4 infants and 5-6 toddlers. The infants even have their own room and area separate from the toddlers! Anyways, we are super excited about it! I think it really is going to work out great for us!

We also decided on banking our baby's cord blood. It was a long, hard decision to make as it does cost a decent amount of money. But we had a REALLY great coupon that is going to help us out. At the end of the day, we just decided we'd rather be safe than sorry. I would hate for something to happen where we could have used it and we didn't collect it. With technology also going where it is, who knows what other diseases it could help out with in the future.

Also we have narrowed down newborn photographers and are close to making a decision about that!!

Tonight we head up to Dallas as Kevin's sister, Holly is getting married Saturday. Busy weekend ahead!
