Going into business


My husband has wanted to go into business for himself for a few years now, and just recently we took the big leap. He quit his job and we went into business for ourselves. He is now a specialty contractor that specializes in appliance repair, and handyman services. I have to say that I was terrified at first, the whole uncertainty of it was overwhelming. Especially with a new baby on the way and the economy not doing so well. However, what kind of a wife would I be if I wasn't supportive of my husband's dreams? So, I pushed down my anxiety and did my best to prepare. We went into business last month, and have surprisingly done alright. Some weeks have been better than others, but we are getting our name out there and I'm confident it won't be long until we are very busy. I am so proud of the good things customers are already saying about Jed. He is so smart, and I knew he had the skills needed to accomplish this. I am happy that he is living his dream and doing what he always wanted to. It will be great in the future, we'll be able to do things when we want to, and he will be able to help a little more when the baby comes!

Getting Ready for Baby




Wow! Time has passed so quickly and we have been busy preparing for our new little one. I finally finished painting the nursery, and I must admitt it turned out pretty cute. The dots were a lot more difficult than I thought they would be, but I love it so I guess it was well worth it. I also had a beautiful shower thrown for me by my sister and Heidi. They did such a great job, it turned out really cute. I had a lot of fabulous friends who showed up and brought such adorable things for the baby. The games were just hilarious, they even had a multi-tasking mom relay. I am so lucky to have people who would do so much for me and my baby. It was a lot of fun! This pregnancy is getting more exhausting every day. I feel so torn knowing that this is my last baby, I want to hold on to every movement and memory of being pregnant. However I want so badly to hold her and to be done with the pregnancy. I have deffinitly reached the uncomfortable time. I know soon that she will be here, and I will get to see her adorable little face.
