I'm a project manager by profession. I'm constantly planning, budgeting, making list (oooh do I love lists!) and this most certainly carries over to my personal life. As you can imagine the arrival of Baby G in 6 months has me in a frenzy. My brain is in overdrive pretty much most of the time. As I sometimes complain, mentally it's exhausting to be me. When it comes to creative budgeting and getting the most out of every paycheck, well I'm a master. I don't ever "toot my own horn" but when you've been doing it for like 10+ years, one becomes quite good at it. With all this in mind SSG and I have started incorporating diaper and wipes purchasing into our regular weekly food shopping trips. It may seem a bit silly but if we can here and there pick up a pack of diapers or wipes we feel like it won't be such a financial hit later on...in theory anyway.
SSG is still very up and down, with her good days and bad. We certainly feel blessed that she's entered her 2nd trimester and all is going well. Allergies seem to be the biggest problem for her. As soon as trees start to come alive in the spring it's not pretty. So, not much else report. Hanging tight and just trying to take care of Momma G.

This just in...lawyer costs to adopt my child...$1,000. Ouch. Know the budgeting skills I talked about? Guess I need to utilize those skills and pull $1,000 from somewhere! Like my ass.

Hey, just think it is better than $3000! :) And you'll get it back in your taxes next year! :)
Good point! I'll try to see this as a glass half full :o) Thanks!
awww man. sorry to hear about the $1k...does that include your wills, ect?
Unfortunately no. This is just the adoption. We will do wills but it may have to wait until we can afford to do it.
