I know I have been MIA from the board. We just moved into our new house and we love it. We are in the country finally and we have 2 acres of land for the kids to play it's wonderful.

We are enjoying our summer so far. I'm only working 1 day a week right now since my job was near our old home it's quite a drive to make everyday. I'm trying to get a job at Kaylee's school this fall so I can have have off when she is off. With her going to a new school I want to be close and be able to have off if school is closed.

I hope everyone is having a great holiday weekend. I plan on being on here a lot more now.

Christa,

I know the feeling about stressing about house stuff.  It took us a year to sell our house in the City. We needed to sell so we could send Nick to a great public school since we had been paying for Catholic education since the public school system is horrible in Baltimore.  We sold in May just in time for the summer and for both kids to go to a public school starting in August. We were paying for 2 kids to go to catholic school so it's like we got a raise now that they are going to public school.

I need to find a job once Kaylee starts school in August. I'm not sure what I would do all day so I would love to find something part-time again. 

Mack & Ethan are getting so big....... I will attach a few updated pictures of us and our new house.  This is a dream come true house for us we never thought we would be able to afford something like this but, the market timing was just right.

Christa,

I hope everything works out for you guys. It's such a crappy economy right now for everyone.

I should just be as happy as ever right now. We have a beautiful home, 2 children but, my baby fever is driving me over the deep end some days.  I think what sent me over the edge is my step son's mother just had another baby.  I thought my ss would be upset about having another sibling but, he is very happy about it. I feel DH didn't want more children because he was worried how DS would feel and to see his reaction just makes me so upset.  DH had a vasectomy 5 months after we were married and I really thought I was ok with it and over the baby fever but, it's hit me so hard I just sit up at night thinking about it. It's drving me crazy!  I know DH doesn't want more children and I doubt that he would get it reversed. I know I need to talk to him about it but, I worry that it will be a strain on our marriage. I love my DH he is my soulmate and I can't imagine life without him. I just worry me pressuring him would make him mad and resentful.  I would just love to experience having a child with DH he is such a great father.  I just don't know what to do.  His only reason of not wanting a child is he doesn't want to go back to diapers and every 2 hour wake ups.  DH is hands on so to say I would take charge would not fly with him.

I just needed to vent not sure what I will do.... any advice would be great.  Maybe it's because I turned 36 this year and I feel like my time is ticking. : )

Thanks for reading!
