Since all our family lives out of town, Joe and I want to be able to share the newest "happenings" with you. When Quentin was born, we had a Baby Window website where we could post every little event in his first days, weeks and months. Since Joe and I have both become more active on Facebook, that's where we now tend to post our pictures and status updates. But since baby Maddox will soon be joining our family, I wanted a new place for sharing the newest info with all of you!
We are exciting about our growing family and can't wait until Maddox is here. Quentin is going to be the best big brother EVER! :)
Another big change for our family will happen at the end of April: my company is being taken over, so I'm going to officially be out of a job. Being 7 months pregnant by then, I've been unable to find new employment (it's hard to imagine a company taking on an employee who will soon be out with a baby). So I'm looking at this as an opportunity I never imagined I would have: to stay home with Quentin for the first time ever (we'll take him out of Pre-K) and then to be home with both boys once Maddox arrives! It's scary and nerve-wracking to be honest ("school" is all Quentin has ever known, and I've always worked outside of the home), but I am thrilled at the chance to spend quality time with my boys and to experience the daily adventures (both at home and around the city) that we've never been able to do! Financially it will be a hardship, but we are confident we can make it through. Hopefully in the fall when Quentin starts kindergarten (yay!), I can start interviewing and find a job again. So I'm looking forward to the next few months, the unknowns, the excitement, the ups and downs... I never thought I would be able to experience being a stay-at-home mom, and this certainly isn't the way I'd hoped it would happen. But this is such an exciting time for our family, and I can't wait to get it started! I will need your prayers and happy thoughts as we navigate this time ahead.
Love,
Erica :)
