Congrats on hearing the hearbeat..makes it worth every penny!
I am whiney and depressed over the farm this morning. I just need to suck it up and put on my big girl panties, because me getting upset isn't going to help anything. It just makes Dan feel bad. BUT it looks like our trip to Florida is going down the tubes, so we might have to do a get together after the baby is born.
Oh, and I don't really want to see my credit card bill this month.
How has your morning been...
Love,

I am sorry Kara. Although it is tough right now, I know things will work out. You guys will get through it. Remember to be always proud of your farm no matter what. You guys have put some much into it. Cheer up hun.
I am doing good. I am very sleepy this morning. I have not started christmas shopping and I really have no money to do it either. Getting paid once a month is not fun at all. I told Mark that I was not going to spend money on him and that I would like to use whatever I have on our families. I also need more mat. clothes, so I am really tight. I hate looking at my cc bill every month, and I have not used it in almost a year. I am trying to pay the thing down, so I am not letting christmas put me in more debt. Blah. The holidays are so stressful.
Holidays are stressful. I am a numbers person, so I will feel better once we get these two end of year payments made and the crop is out, so I have concrete numbers of what we need to save. Good or Bad, I like to have a clear idea of what we are looking at.
Really I am so blessed. This year has ended on an excellent note. I have a healthy baby growing inside of me, which is all I have wanted for a couple of years now. And I am careful to say how nothing is going right, because that is not true. Money just makes things stressful.
The quilt came in last night, it is still in the wrapper, but I am sure it is adorable
Next week, I am going to pick out paint colors. Exciting! Hopefully we will have the wood for the crib then and also have the dresser ordered.
We are all so blessed. It is going to be a wonderful Holiday. Every year I get bogged down about the little things like gifts, money, and what to cook, will people like my cookies, what to wear. I just need to take a step back and remember family and the love and support that surrounds me.
I blame the media.
I absolutely love that quilt. What color are you painting the nursery?
I would like to find a beige area rug to put in there too. It is a good size room, so I need to take up space lol.
We got this for baby too. It doesn't match the theme, but I love it sooo much, brings tears to my eyes, so I will find the perfect spot in the nursery
Here is a link if it is hard to read... ( I love all their stuff, so cool)

I just got my car seat (actually the one I wanted) for $86 on baby earth gaga deal...it was originally 160. I think my mom is going to pay me back and give it to me for my shower. Regardless I couldn't resist, it was such a good deal..now someone can buy me something else. I have the platinum one on my registry right now, but this was on there before that one, I took it off, because they were the same price and the one was platinum. Anyway, I am excited.
That almost makes up for the 1/2 of petunia picklebottom I missed out on on babysteals.com lol
