    A  population of 8,000 is small everywhere, Missy! I grew up in a town like that. Ugh. I guess it's a good place to raise kids though.

    I suppose that's small everywhere, but some of the surrounding towns are less that 1,000.  I'm actually not a huge country gal either, but it is a great place to raise our girls.

    It blows my mind how different one area can be from another in this country.  I don't even think a $700,000 home exists in my area.  You could get a mansion in my area for $200,000. 

    You must be in VERY  rural Iowa. $ 200,000 is a very nice house in town, but not a mansion. Our house was cheap, but it is small  and old. Dh's bosses house was $700,000 and it's pretty close to being a mansion. Just shows how much difference there can be even within the same state.

    Ha-yes! Well, kind of.  My town is around 8,000 folks, which isn't that small for Iowa. I'm sure there probably are homes not far from here that are well over $200,000, but it's just not common in my town.  Most (decent) homes are between $70,000-$150,000.  There are homes over $200,000, but they're very nice homes.

    There are a lot of numbers in this post. 

    Hoolleey sh!t, 70-150k?  That is dirt-ass cheap!

    I don't get having kids who share a birthday/birth week/birth month.  I'm not referring to people who have unplanned pregnancies, or people who have TTC and will take any pregnancy they can get.  I'm talking about your run of the mill, planned pregnancies without difficulty.  Why not skip a month of trying?

     - And this is based on:

    *my DH and his brother who have birthdays in the same month.  They always celebrate both on his brother's earlier birthday and then DH's birthday is ignored.

    * My cousins who are both born on July 3 and had to share birthdays/birthday parties since the younger one was born.  Both hate it, and if one brother is having a "big" birthday (13, 16, 18) the other always ends up with the short end of the stick.

    * My SIL's sister who is currently pregnant with her second daughter. Due the same day as her first daughter's birthday.  Which is the same day as my niece's (her niece, her daughters' first cousin) birthday.

    If we decide to have another and things work out, we are shooting for a Sept-Dec due date. Only because I think paying your insurance deductible twice for the same pregnancy is stupid. And if its another girl, I have so many dang cute clothes of Gator's that are still like brand new. I want the clothes to be the correct seasons for the next kid (again, if its a girl). But even if its a boy, Gator wears some boy clothes and shoes too....so regardless of the sex of the baby, we want a fall baby. Plus, it gives me winter and spring to get in shape for summertime. Lol
