As most of you know, we're trying to sell our house. There's good reason behind it too. First off, manufactured homes just don't stay warm; especially not in the winter time even with the heat cranked to 70. The mortage is expensive for what we have, just not worth it. The neighborhood is...how can I put it... white trashy? It's true that they're trying to control it with a Home Owner's Association but they can only do so much. Our only option at this point is to use the money from the home sale to free up at least $1000 a month and move into a rental home.
With a new baby on the way we've decided that it's the best decision for me to stay home most of the time, maybe work 2 nights a week? Daycare will cost more than what I make in a month so it just isn't worth it. I'm not going to ask my mom and mother-in-law to watch a baby again in addition to a 5 year old when he gets home from kindergarten. It's too much to ask. I personally would rather spend more time with the new baby because there are new things I want to try this time around. Jamie did just fine on formula and sleeping in his own crib but I think this time I'd like to try breast feeding and co-sleeping (they have co-sleepers: if you want to get us a baby gift... lol). Every child is different.
Besides, this way I can try to get my photography business going next year with more free time (theoritically). :) Anyway, just wanted to share my thoughts.
