Hello!
Trying to get back into the blogging habit. Charlotte is doing well. All house guests have finally left and we have peace at the house. (The chairs all held up well- all new chairs were used.)
I'm finding myself googling about newborns a lot more than saving money.
Now that we have bought everything for Charlotte, I don't see her incurring many additional expenses for the next few weeks. So our budget will stabilize now.
We are still short monthly from our rental income to our monthly expenses. But it's not much longer until that reverses due to husbands disability court hearing in December, and new cheaper health insurance kicking in January. So January should bring in a whole new budget!
Still pondering what to do with money that has come in specifically for Charlotte. Thinking Cloverdell might be an ok option. Or I still might just open up a 1 yr CD to give myself some more time to research it. I appreciate all your responses to my request for advice. I need to re-read them as I read them before but cant really remember the details (sleep deprived).
Ok, so this was not a great post. But its a start to get back in the habit. Going to check on the baby now.

Babies are a lot more interesting than saving money!
My oldest is going to be 16 in two weeks. I remember that my big splurge was $75 for a star shaped bunting from the Signals catalog. It was easy to put the baby in, and it was cute to boot! And I used it all the kids that came after her. And I remember thinking I had rocks in my head making that purchase. No regrets at all about that splurge?
How is the feeding and sleeping going? Sounds like you'll be able to drift comfortably into 2014 and hope that all goes well with the hearing!
