I have been taking prenatals for the past few months, and things really seem to be falling in line for us to TTC in March - I feel very blessed!
1) We were underwater on our car, and it was becoming unreliable - it got totaled on Christmas Eve, no one was hurt, and now we have a much more reliable car with smaller payments and less interest. I have GAP insurance so will not have to pay the difference between what the insurance covers and what I owe.
2) We are in an apartment now, and it was looking like we were going to have to move into another apartment at the end of March when our lease is up. The house next to my FIH just opened up and the landlord is willing to hold it for us from mid January until either mid February or March (depending on if we can get out of our lease a month early or not) for a $100 deposit. It is a 2/1 for less than what we are paying for our apartment now. Also, we have two cats and a dog, so it is hard to find an apartment that will allow more than two pets, and I was not looking forward to bundling up a newborn whenever I took the dog out for the 6-8 weeks I will be home by myself so we were actually thinking of putting off TTCing until we could rent a house.
3 - We found a church. This is something I really wanted to do, as I wanted to have a good foundation in a church before TTC.
All in all, it has been a very blessed start to the new year.
I am going to wait to come off my birth control until husband's raise gets confirmed though. Even though I have PCOS, my family has a long history of getting pregnant right after stopping birth control.
How was everyone's holiday?
Wow, it's wonderful that things have been falling into place so well for you guys! Sounds like God definitely has His hand on your life!
Christmas was nice at our house. I worked third shift and had to work the night before and after, but we had a few family members over in the evening for dinner, gifts and games. It was laid back, but nice.
