So, apologies for not posting yesterday, but it was the all-important 20-week ultrasound appointment. Most of you at this point know that my wife and I are expecting at the end of November, and those of you that don't... well, you do now. Here's a picture of the little guy.
I'm pretty excited that Xander will have a little brother basically from as early as he can remember. I had to wait until I was almost six years old, and by that point I was pretty jealous of my sisters because they had each other and I was starting to become the odd man out. It's also a lot cheaper for us, because we have all of the stuff already.
I'm also terrified. The past year has been the most financially difficult of our marriage, and that doesn't look to improve any time soon. I spent the school year in a state of perpetual exhaustion because I had to work 25 hours a week just to keep the bills paid. I take student loans, but they aren't enough by themselves to support a family. That's only going to get worse with the addition of another person to our household. In general, I'm super excited about our family expanding, this just isn't the ideal time for it. I guess by the time the school year is done, I'll either have mad time management skills or I'll be joining the class of 2014.
I won't be posting next Thursday because I'm going to my cousin's wedding in Wisconsin. I'll try to sneak one in on Monday, but no promises. Also, nobody bit on the reader request line yet, but that's still open. Feel free to take advantage; it gets me off the hook for trying to come up with something to write about!
