New Family Member Share

January 18, 2010

We have some exciting news. Beckah and I are with child! Number two, in the chute and ready to go! We are very, very excited and thrilled about it. For those who may question, this pregnancy is planned, charted, timed, and with so much purpose. Beckah and I started talking about planning our second child nearly a year ago. Things got very serious when I learned about an insurance policy that I can sell to myself (since I have an insurance license) that covers short term disability. Pregnancy is the only short term disability you can plan for.

It's a no brainer deal. Pay for the policy, deliver the baby and the insurance policy reimburses you more than the cost. Classic investment if you do it right. Not to advertise, but if anyone is planning their family and is not yet pregnant you would be a fool to NOT do this if you are a responsible financially minded person. You should email me right away if this is the case and I can help you out.

We've been playing our cards close to our chest and we have told no one other than family, until this journal entry, which is happening now. Recently we celebrated my dad's birthday and I think we chose a creative way to share our news with the family during this event. London gave a gift which was a picture of a positive pregnancy test. (Nothing says love like the image of a stick your wife peed on!) But the gift giving went over well and mom's reaction is absolutley classic Phyllis. Here is the link to the video that says it all!

I'm sure there will be lots of planning and dreaming and talking about this in the future. We will have to make some changes of course, like plan a new room and move some furniture. But our family is ready for this, and it makes sense. Not saying that it will be no sweat or anything, but as always I remain very positive that all obstacles can be overcome. Around September 15th will be a powerful journal entry!
