The joys of having a baby...

RIDICULOUS!  Yes, I love having a new baby in the house.  His presence brings me more joy than I know what to do with.  I am however not happy about the cost of formula.  It is outrageous, if you ask me, but a necessary evil since I was not able to breast feed the baby (due to the complications I mentioned before with my pregnancy).  We pay about $32.00 a week on formula.  But like I said, a necessary evil.  we won't even go into discussion about the diapers.  I have tried almost all the brands of diapers and I have to admit, I love Huggies and my love for that brand comes at a pretty penny.  

I have been trying to find a job.  A part of me wants to find one immediately to better our financial future, but another part of me likes the fact that I can take the kids to school, pick them up, have no problems with scheduling their appointments, and spend time with them.  When I was working, it was hard getting time off from work to go to various appointments.  It would get frustrating when I could not get the time off to take care of business.

My husband did start a new venture, Quixtar.  Although I was skeptical (maybe still am), I have chosen to support his endeavors.  I hope he sees some success.  I know that it is tough with him being in the military, there are several sacrifices that are made within the family, the biggest ones coming from him of course.  So he wanted to make sure that we had some extra income coming into the home.

On other news, we have started to prepare for the San Diego Heart Walk again.  I am excited about starting it up again.  I know it will be hard to beat last year especially since we are breaking from the group and going at it on our own.  I do hope to get a bigger team.  I look forward to this event every year.  The people who put it all together are all amazing and hard working...not to mention the nicest people on earth.  So it is no wonder I am so dedicated to the Heart Walk.  I do enjoy seeing my son Bailey become more and more involved in a cause that affects him.
