Cribs, Car Seats and Strollers, Oh my!

Max and I are so thankful to the Lord for his provisions.

The Lord has really been teaching Max and I that instead of worrying over things that we cannot change/control, we should cling to His promises and be sure that He will take care of us. Well, more and more as we learn this lesson the Lord shows us how gracious and giving He is. To make a long story short, Max set some financial goals for us, that (if reached) will make the time right after the baby a lot easier! We have been praying over those goals and giving them to the Lord, and He is allowing us to reach them even earlier than we (I) had hoped! Not only does this help financially, but it makes my husband so happy because he is not worrying over details - he is giving them to the Lord. Praise the Lord for a godly husband!!!

Not only that, but we have been receiving such blessings as far as stuff for the baby! For Christmas we received a paint set to paint (re-paint) the baby's room. A friend of Max's (Tony and Laura Bader, Max's best-man in the wedding), has offered us there crib. My sister, Mandy's sister-in-law is selling her stroller/car seat thing (I think they are called travel sets??) to us for a very cheap price!! So many of the big things being taken care of! The Lord is providing what we need, even before we realize we need them.

Cool Beans!! I love it when you get what you need before you need it! Just FYI on the carseat, besure it isn't more than 5 years old. The hospitals are really strict and they won't let you take the baby home unless it meets all the current standards :) I have a few friends who have borrowed them or bought them off Craigs list didn't find out until the day they tried to bring baby home that it was too old.

That is so exciting for you guys! I am so excited to see this little bundle of joy! Financial goals are so exciting, we've been working really hard to keep to a tight budget, and then when you get to see the numbers, it's very satisfying. And a whoohoo for godly husbands!

If you are having a boy you can have all our 0-3 month clothes. That is great about the crib and car seat/stroller combo.
